FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


What types of electric/ hybrid engines are there?

ICE: Internal Combustion Engine (internal combustion engine) is the traditional thermal energy engine (petrol, diesel, etc.) in which fuel combustion is activated through an oxidizer (usually air) inside a combustion chamber that is an integral part of the movement circuit of the fluid.
MHEV: Internal combustion engine and electric motor combined. The battery is charged by the internal combustion engine and by regenerative braking. It does not allow to drive in all-electric mode.
HEV: Internal combustion engine and electric motor combined. The battery is charged by the internal combustion engine and by regenerative braking. Battery performance allows for short trips in all-electric mode.
PLUG-IN HYBRID: Internal combustion engine and electric motor combined. The battery is also charged from an external source (charging socket) and through regenerative braking. Battery performance allows long journeys in all-electric mode.
BEV: Traction is provided exclusively by an electric motor. Driving is electric and charging is achieved only through an external source and regenerative braking.
REEV: Reev has a small petrol powered generator to recharge the battery and allow extended range when the battery level is low.


Why will you opt for a Plug-In Hybrid solution?

Plug-In Hybrid is one of the best solution to exploit the strengths of using an internal combustion engine (ICE) and an electric motor combined. Furthermore, within the hybrid world, the Plug-In Hybrid guarantees optimal balance between electric range, charge time, fuel economy, drivability and performance.


What are the main advantages of a Plug-In Hybrid vehicle?

Plug-In Hybrid cars offer many of the advantages of electric vehicles, such as lower running costs, a silent journey, and zero emissions in the case of pure electric driving, while ensuring the flexibility of a conventional combustion engine for longer trips, without necessary recharge the battery from an external source. The combination of the combustion engine and the electric motor can also allow the vehicle to deliver a higher level of torque and performance than conventional larger-displacement engines. Jeep® 4xe will represents an advanced solution, which will increases performance and driving comfort by ensuring reductions in operating costs andlower emissions than thermal engine vehicles.


What kind of electric vehicle will the Jeep Renegade 4xe be?
