A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) combines the power of an electric motor with either a petrol or diesel internal combustion engine (ICE). These vehicles can operate using pure electric power for a distance of approximately 20 to 50 miles, emitting no pollutants from the exhaust.
Once the electric-only range is used up, the PHEV switches to functioning like a full hybrid, employing an intelligent hybrid system. The ICE engages as needed. To recharge the battery and restore the electric driving capacity, PHEVs must be connected to a household electrical outlet or a designated charging station.
If you're looking for an electrified driving experience while retaining the assurance of an internal combustion engine, a PHEV might be of interest.
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) operate through a battery charged by an internal combustion engine. The electric motor serves as a generator, capturing energy typically lost during braking to replenish the battery.
Similar to battery electric vehicles (BEVs), PHEVs require connection to a power source for a full battery charge. The duration of charging varies based on the vehicle model and battery size.
Most plug-in hybrids can cover a purely electric range of approximately 20 to 50 miles, suitable for short trips. After the battery charge is depleted, the internal combustion engine seamlessly takes over, ensuring a smooth continuation of your journey without any hassle.
