What does hybrid mean? Is it charging or refueling?
1 Answers
Currently, hybrid vehicles on the market are mild hybrids, which only require refueling. Plug-in Hybrid: Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are a type of new energy vehicle that falls between pure electric vehicles and traditional fuel-powered cars. They feature both a conventional car's engine, transmission, drivetrain, fuel system, and fuel tank, as well as a battery that can be externally charged. Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV): Hybrid electric vehicles offer high fuel efficiency and superior driving performance. These vehicles use fuel for their engines, but with the assistance of an electric motor during startup and acceleration, fuel consumption is reduced. Simply put, compared to similarly sized conventional cars, they have lower fuel costs.
