Plug-in hybrid (PHEV) campers offer a compromise for sustainable travel, allowing electric-only driving on campsites and partial trips without constant charging. Key models include the Volkswagen California with up to 95 km electric range, the Ford Transit Custom Nugget with around 45-50 km, and the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, which can be converted and offers about 85 km of electric range. These vehicles combine internal combustion engines with electric motors, providing a total driving range between approximately 647 km and 844 km according to WLTP standards.
