Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles

Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) combine a traditional gasoline engine with an electric motor and a rechargeable battery. Unlike standard hybrids, PHEVs can be charged from an electric outlet, allowing them to drive on electric power alone for shorter distances, typically 20 to 50 miles. When the battery runs low, the gasoline engine kicks in, extending the vehicle's range. This setup offers flexibility and improved fuel efficiency, reducing emissions compared to conventional vehicles. PHEVs are an excellent option for those looking to transition to greener driving without sacrificing the convenience of gasoline power for longer trips.
