What is the difference between plug-in hybrid and hybrid electric vehicles?
1 Answers
The differences between plug-in hybrid and hybrid electric vehicles are: 1. Different charging methods: Plug-in hybrids can be charged in pure electric mode; hybrid electric vehicles are not charged in pure electric mode. 2. Different power sources: The power source of plug-in hybrids is the battery; the power source of hybrid electric vehicles is mainly gasoline, with electricity serving only as an auxiliary function. The principle of plug-in hybrids is to charge the battery pack through plug-in charging, allowing the electric motor and gasoline engine to drive the vehicle simultaneously or in pure electric mode, thereby reducing fuel consumption and air pollution. The principle of hybrid electric vehicles is to power the car through the combined work of the internal combustion engine and the electric motor, thus driving the vehicle.
