plug-in hybrid technology

Plug-in hybrid technology combines a traditional gasoline engine with an electric motor and a rechargeable battery. The vehicle can run on electricity alone for short distances, which is ideal for daily commutes, reducing fuel consumption and emissions. The battery can be recharged by plugging it into an external power source, like a wall outlet or charging station. When the battery is depleted, the gasoline engine takes over to extend driving range. This setup provides the efficiency of electric driving with the backup and flexibility of a conventional engine, making it a versatile and environmentally friendly option.
