What's the Difference Between Hybrid, Plug-In Hybrid, and an Electric Vehicle?
When you're browsing electric and hybrid vehicles, you might be wondering what the difference is between these terms. We're here to help you out at our dealership serving Richmond and beyond.
A hybrid vehicle, sometimes seen as HEV, is a car that doesn't rely entirely on its gasoline engine for power. They also have electric motors that can take over and run the vehicle. Hybrids save fuel because you don't have to run the gas engine at all times. These models power the electric motor with regenerative braking, meaning every time you brake, it converts that energy to power the battery.
A plug-in hybrid, or a PHEV, also has a gas engine and an electric motor, but the electric motor is larger and used more often. Notably, these models allow you to plug in the vehicle to recharge it using an external power source.
An electric vehicle, also seen as an EV, uses all-electric power. They don't have a gas engine, and you can recharge them at home or a charging station.
