If you’re looking to propel your vehicle by grabbing some juice from the power grid, check out the results of this segment which evaluates both fully electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. When we looked at the numbers, we found that the Chevrolet Volt won the Vincentric Best Value in America award for the second year in a row due to ownership costs that were 4% lower than expected. Competition from the Nissan Leaf and Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid was strong, but not enough to unseat the champion.
