Types of Plug-In Vehicles

Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV)

A Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle is similar to conventional hybrids, but has a
larger battery that can be plugged into an electric outlet. PHEVs are usually
designed with an electric-only range of 10 to 40 miles, blended with a
gasoline engine to achieve higher speeds and loads. After the electric-only
range is exceeded, the vehicle continues to operate as a hybrid vehicle
using a gasoline engine or generator.

All-Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV)

A typical All-Battery Electric Vehicle is powered entirely by electricity from
the utility grid. BEVs currently have a range of 80 to 120 miles or more.
