Plug-in hybrids were supposed to be Americans' bridge to EVs. Now they're fading from showrooms.

Plug-in hybrids blend enough battery power to get a driver through the day and a gas engine for added range. Several US automakers are still cutting back on their PHEV options.

• Carmakers initially pitched plug-in hybrids as a bridge toward electrification. Now, several models have been discontinued.
• Stellantis has led the pack, cutting five plug-in hybrids.
• A new kind of electric-gas combination powertrain is getting a ton of investment from US automakers.
