This is one of the main things that put us off ordering a PHEV - no gain at all on maintenance costs. Plus the worst of both worlds in terms of fire - more likely to catch fire due to the ICE, more likely to keep burning because of the battery.
We are currently awaiting delivery of a BYD Dolphin with zero regrets, after research and extensive chats with friends who have been using EVs for a while.
