Following the age-old logic of 'photos or it didn't happen' and making relationships 'Facebook official' (remember that?), I believe the news that Google Maps just added a major EV charging update means that electric and hybrid cars have officially gone mainstream.
As Engagement Editor here at Tom's Guide, I keep track of our poll results and comments from Tom's Club members, and I've noticed that a lot of you enjoy talking about our EV reviews and features such as are hybrids and PHEVs worth the extra cost? So it's only fair that I offer you knowledgeable pit crew your very own quiz, all about electric and hybrid vehicles and tech. (And if you have a friend who can’t spot a Toyota Prius from a Chevy Chase, teach them some electric car facts by sharing this quiz with them.) Engines at the ready!
How did you do? Too hard? Too easy? Let us know what you think in the comments below. And don't forget to register to save your score, reveal hints for any clues you're not sure of and secure your spot on the competitive Tom's Guide leaderboard.
I hope that, whether you're already the proud owner of one of the best electric cars or considering making the switch, you've learned something new today. Or else, you've cemented your understanding of hybrid and electric tech.
And as US gasoline prices reportedly passing the $4 per gallon mark, we could all do with making informed driving choices.
