Can Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles Be Refueled with Gasoline?
1 Answers
Plug-in hybrid vehicles can be refueled with gasoline. It is recommended to use the pure electric mode first, then switch to the fuel mode. Below is an introduction to hybrid vehicles: 1. Hybrid vehicles add an electric motor as an additional power source to traditional energy systems, allowing the use of two types of power. 2. They can freely switch between the internal combustion engine and the electric motor or operate both simultaneously. This method improves energy utilization. 3. When starting the car, the electric motor provides faster and more stable acceleration. If properly matched, its performance can be outstanding. 4. Currently, there are two common versions: hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). 5. Hybrid electric version: This version primarily relies on fuel, with three modes available: electric-only, fuel-only, or a combination of both. It does not require external charging, has a smaller onboard battery, and offers limited electric-only range. At low speeds, the electric mode can be selected, while the fuel mode is preferable at high speeds. 6. Plug-in hybrid version: Plug-in hybrid vehicles can be directly charged. In most cases, the electric mode can be prioritized, switching to the fuel mode after the battery is depleted. These vehicles are similar to pure electric cars but include an additional engine.
