1 Answers
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are a type of new energy vehicle that falls between pure electric vehicles and conventional fuel-powered vehicles. They are equipped with traditional automotive components such as engines, transmissions, drivetrains, fuel lines, and fuel tanks, as well as electric vehicle components like batteries, electric motors, and control circuits. PHEVs are issued green license plates, which exempt them from traffic restrictions based on the last digit of the license plate number. The license plates are predominantly green in color and feature an external charging port, allowing for active external charging. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles can be classified into four categories: 1. Micro hybrid; 2. Mild hybrid; 3. Medium hybrid; 4. Full hybrid.
