How Often Should a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Be Charged?
1 Answers
Generally, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle needs to be charged every 2 to 3 days. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles require charging, whereas regular hybrid vehicles do not need separate battery charging. The difference between plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and regular hybrid vehicles: Regular hybrid vehicles have very small battery capacities, which only supply/recover energy during start/stop and acceleration/deceleration. They cannot be charged externally and cannot drive long distances in pure electric mode. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles have relatively larger batteries, can be charged externally, and can drive in pure electric mode. Once the battery is depleted, they switch to hybrid mode (primarily using the internal combustion engine) and recharge the battery as needed. Methods for charging plug-in hybrid electric vehicles: Install the home charging station provided by the manufacturer; use public charging stations; use a portable charging gun; charge using the car's engine (not recommended). Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles have relatively larger batteries, can be charged externally, and can drive in pure electric mode. Once the battery is depleted, they switch to hybrid mode (primarily using the internal combustion engine) and recharge the battery as needed.
