Do Hybrid Electric Vehicles Need to Be Charged?

[DelGeorge]

Hybrid electric vehicles are divided into two types: non-plug-in hybrid electric vehicles do not need to be charged, while plug-in hybrid electric vehicles require charging. Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles: A type of new energy vehicle that falls between pure electric vehicles and fuel-powered vehicles. It has both the traditional car's engine, transmission, drivetrain, fuel system, and fuel tank, as well as the battery, motor, and control circuit of a pure electric vehicle. Moreover, the battery capacity is relatively large, and it has a charging interface. It combines the advantages of both pure electric vehicles (EV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), enabling pure electric, zero-emission driving, as well as increasing the vehicle's range through hybrid mode. Non-Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles: Non-plug-in hybrid vehicles must be fueled. The battery is charged by the engine driving the generator. At low speeds, the vehicle is driven solely by the electric motor, while at higher speeds, it can be driven directly by the engine or by both the motor and the engine together.
