DTE Energy of southeastern Michigan invited PHEV-curious consumers into its “Smart Garage” at the North American International Auto Show. What the heck is a PHEV? Well it’s a hybrid-hybrid. Confused? It’s pretty simple actually. You have a normal hybrid vehicle that can be plugged in and ran as an electric vehicle. Once that energy starts to run a little low the normal hybrid system fires up.
