Plug-in hybrid cannot run without charging all the time. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is a type of vehicle between an electric vehicle and a fuel vehicle, equipped with both the engine, transmission, drive system, fuel line, and fuel tank of a traditional fuel vehicle, as well as the battery, motor, and control circuit of an electric vehicle. The battery capacity can also support driving in pure electric mode for a certain distance and provides a charging interface. Plug-in hybrid vehicles will not run out of power while driving. If there are charging piles nearby, they can be driven as an electric vehicle. When driving a plug-in hybrid vehicle, it can operate in pure electric mode or hybrid mode. In the battery hold mode, the vehicle is also in hybrid mode, similar to a regular hybrid vehicle. It starts in pure electric mode, the engine intervenes when speed increases, and kinetic energy is recovered during coasting and braking.
