What is the difference between MHEV and PHEV?
1 Answers
MHEV is actually a mild hybrid model, while PHEV is a plug-in hybrid model. The following are the differences between MHEV and PHEV: 1. Difference one: Plug-in hybrid PHEV can be charged externally, while hybrid MHEV cannot. 2. Difference two: Plug-in hybrid PHEV has a relatively large battery capacity, can drive in pure electric mode and tends to rely on electric power. When the battery is depleted, it switches to hybrid mode with the internal combustion engine as the main power source. In contrast, hybrid MHEV has a very small battery capacity, and only supplies/recycles energy during start-stop or acceleration/deceleration.
