What is a PHEV vehicle?
A PHEV vehicle is short for A Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle. They are also known as Plug-In Hybrid vehicles. They have petrol engines and have rechargeable electric batteries.
The battery in a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is significantly larger than that found in a standard hybrid vehicle. This larger battery capacity enables drivers to cover greater distances in electric vehicle (EV) mode, effectively eliminating tailpipe emissions during these journeys. In EV mode, the vehicle operates solely on electric power, making it an environmentally friendly choice for shorter trips. However, once the battery charge begins to dwindle, the plug-in hybrid seamlessly transitions to using a combination of petrol and electric energy, ensuring that you can continue your travels without interruption. This hybrid approach provides both the efficiency of electric driving and the reliability of traditional fuel, striking a balance between sustainability and convenience.
What is the difference between a hybrid and a plug-in hybrid?
Plug-in hybrid vehicles can only run solely on electric power when the battery has been charged and will switch to hybrid technology when the battery is depleted. However, hybrid vehicles switch between electric energy and the contribution of petrol and electric energy at the same time.
What happens when a PHEV runs out of battery?
If your plug-in hybrid vehicle runs out of battery, the self-charging hybrid system will automatically switch so you continue to have power.
