Hybrid

HEVs are powered by both batteries and gasoline engines with the two working in harmony to deliver the best possible performance. A hybrid electric vehicle cannot be plugged in to recharge the battery. Instead, electric energy is generated by the car’s own braking system. This process is called regenerative braking.

Electric

Electric vehicles (EVs) are fully electric with rechargeable batteries and no gasoline engine. They promote zero emissions driving and are plugged into a charging point. Battery electric vehicles, or BEVs as they’re sometimes referred to, store electricity onboard with high capacity battery packs. This electricity is used to power the electric motor.

Plug-in Hybrid

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles recharge the battery through regenerative braking. They can also be plugged into an external source of electric power. The vehicle typically runs on electric power until the battery is depleted. It’ll then switch to the internal combustion engine meaning that people who own a PHEV get the best of both!
