What is the difference between plug-in hybrid and pure electric?
1 Answers
Plug-in hybrid and pure electric differ in the following aspects: 1. Different powertrain systems: Plug-in hybrids are equipped with not only an electric motor and battery but also an internal combustion engine, where the electric motor serves as auxiliary power; pure electric vehicles have only one powertrain system, which is entirely powered by rechargeable batteries. 2. Charging requirements differ: Plug-in hybrids do not require charging; pure electric vehicles must be charged. 3. Different first letter on license plates: The first letter of a plug-in hybrid's license plate is F; for pure electric vehicles, it is D. The functions of license plates are: 1. To number and register vehicle information; 2. To identify the vehicle's region of registration; 3. To trace the vehicle owner and registration details based on the license plate.
