The Difference Between Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid
1 Answers
The differences between hybrid and plug-in hybrid are as follows: 1. Whether it can be charged by an external power source: Hybrid vehicles are non-plug-in hybrids and cannot be charged by an external power source; plug-in hybrids can. 2. Battery capacity: Hybrid vehicles have a small battery capacity, while plug-in hybrids have a larger one. 3. Whether they can get a green license plate: Hybrid vehicles cannot, but plug-in hybrids can drive a certain distance in pure electric mode and are eligible for a green license plate. Information about hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles is as follows: 1. Non-plug-in hybrid: This is a more traditional type of hybrid vehicle, with the advantage of having the same usage habits as traditional fuel vehicles, without the need for charging; the battery and motor in non-plug-in hybrids mainly serve an auxiliary role, resulting in lower fuel costs compared to vehicles of the same size. 2. Plug-in hybrid: This is currently a more common type of new energy vehicle, with the biggest advantage being its eligibility for a green license plate, except in Beijing; plug-in hybrids are essentially fuel vehicles equipped with a large-capacity battery and an additional motor, allowing them to rely entirely on the motor for driving in congested areas and short trips, avoiding the high fuel consumption characteristics of fuel vehicles in such conditions.
