Must Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles Be Charged?
1 Answers
Plug-in hybrid vehicles must be charged. Definition: A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is a new type of hybrid new energy vehicle. Different from traditional hybrid vehicles that combine gasoline power with pure electric drive, the driving principle and driving unit of a plug-in hybrid are the same as those of an electric vehicle, with the only difference being that it is equipped with an engine. Drive System: Plug-in hybrid vehicles are positioned between conventional hybrid vehicles and pure electric vehicles. When traveling long distances, they primarily use the internal combustion engine power mode. For short-distance travel, they operate in pure electric mode. In other words, plug-in hybrid vehicles have two sets of power drive systems: one is the traditional internal combustion engine drive, which consumes fuel (gasoline or diesel) to obtain driving force, and the other is the electric drive system, which consumes the power from the battery to obtain driving force. Under certain conditions, both systems can work together to drive the vehicle.
