Anyone carry their bike in a PHEV? particularly thinking of the Prius Prime or Volt.
Thanks!

I looked at a Prime as a replacement for our gen 2 Prius. The prime is TINY compared to what we have now. I guess they're pushing the V if you want cargo space now.

Carried bikes around in the back of my Prius, then Plug in Prius for years. Have to put the back seats down.

We had a C-Max Energi that we would regularly put a bike in the back with the baby still in her car seat. Could fit the double Chariot too if you're really good at Tetris. Check out EcoHitch through Torklift, they make really nice bolt-on hitches for a wide variety of hybrid vehicles: https://torkliftcentral.com/rving-and-towing/ecohitch

We got a 2" hitch for the C-Max and then had an endless number of rack options available. I've installed two of them on separate cars and it's been really straightforward.

Just got my Chevy Bolt
Bike fits fine no wheel removal needed
2 would fit with wheels removed
