Can Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) Go on Long-Distance Trips?

[VanJuniper]

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles can go on long-distance trips, as charging stations are available at highway service areas. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles generally refer to a type of new energy vehicle that falls between pure electric vehicles and traditional fuel-powered vehicles. They are equipped with both the conventional car components—such as the engine, transmission, drivetrain, fuel system, and fuel tank—and the electric vehicle components, including the battery, electric motor, and control circuit, with a relatively large battery capacity. PHEVs feature charging ports, combining the advantages of both pure electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles. They can operate in pure electric mode for zero-emission driving and also extend the driving range through hybrid mode.
