How Do PHEVs Work?
A plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) runs on the combination of a traditional gas engine and electric motor. This helps to boost the vehicle's fuel efficiency and offers fewer emissions than hybrid or gas-powered cars. Plug-in hybrid cars typically also offer a limited all-electric range with zero emissions.
What Does Electric Car Range Mean?
An electric vehicle's range is the distance it can travel on a single charge. You can compare the efficiency of EVs vs. gas-powered cars by checking out its MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent).
