The Autoline Daily podcast was sent a study from a researcher who had asked Toyota for some data on PHEV charging, see the link below (at 6:52). Toyota sent him a study that used telematic data on RAV4 and NX PHEV charging dated July 2025. Per the study, only 9% of US RAV4 PHEV owners never charge and 79% "consistently plug in". In Canada it was 96% who "consistently plug in". For the NX, in the US 4% never charge and 86% "consistently plug in". Canada was 95% "consistently plug in". Everyone has been using outdated European data based on company cars given to employees who were not reimbursed for charging costs, only gas costs. Toyota usually does not release PHEV data. I have also participated in several surveys on PHEV charging over the last two years but have never seen a published report on any results. I have always been in the "consistently plug in" group.

Also, torque news, see the second link, is speculating that PHEV reliability ratings from CR might go up now that the worst reliable PHEVs per CR are leaving the market, "What has occurred is that almost every PHEV that was ranked poorly for reliability has been cancelled. All. At. Once." CR would not speculate on any possible changes.

Where is the paper? I don't see a link to it in the description of the video - the devil is in the details, if anyone is "citing" a paper as evidence, then need to produce the "paper", not just claim the paper has "disappeared". Or the "dog ate it".
