The search results provided focus primarily on braking performance of high-performance vehicles (e.g., Chevrolet Corvette Z06/ZR1 with 127–128 ft stops from 70 mph) and PHEV range/MPG data, but do not directly address PHEV stopping distances. Here’s a synthesis of relevant insights:
Key Findings
- Braking Performance Factors: High-performance models like the Corvette ZR1 (127 ft from 70 mph) prioritize stopping power with carbon-ceramic brakes and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, but these are not PHEVs.
- PHEV Braking Data: No specific stopping distances for PHEVs are listed in the results. Hybrids (non-plug-in) generally sacrifice 8–12 feet in braking distance compared to non-hybrid counterparts for fuel efficiency, suggesting similar trade-offs might apply to PHEVs.
- PHEV Range Highlights:
- Toyota RAV4 Prime: 42 miles (manufacturer-rated EV range).
- Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV: 38 miles.
- Volvo XC60 Recharge: 35 miles.
For definitive PHEV braking performance, testing data from organizations like the IIHS or NHTSA would be necessary, as the provided results focus on range and efficiency.
Recommended Approach
- Check OEM Specifications: Brands like Porsche (e.g., Cayenne E-Hybrid) or BMW (X5 xDrive50e) often publish braking metrics for performance-oriented PHEVs.
- Prioritize Performance PHEVs: Models like the Polestar 1 (discontinued) or Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance (if classified as PHEV) may offer shorter stops due to upgraded chassis components.
