The Difference Between Charging and Plugging In
1 Answers
Plug-in hybrid vehicles and pure electric vehicles differ in charging methods, performance, and price. Here are the differences between plug-in and charging: 1. Difference in charging methods: Plug-in hybrid models add an onboard charger to pure electric vehicles, which can directly convert 220V to charging voltage. Pure electric vehicles can only be charged using chargers, operate through electric motors, and all vehicle operations are powered by electricity. 2. Difference in performance and price: Plug-in hybrid models generally have excellent performance and are more fuel-efficient, but they come with higher price tags. Pure electric vehicles have relatively poorer performance but are more affordable.
