What are the differences between hybrids vs. PHEVs vs. EVs?
Traditional hybrids combine a gasoline engine with an electric motor, using regenerative braking to recharge their batteries, but are ultimately always reliant on gasoline. They cannot be plugged in. A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, or PHEV, also features both a gasoline engine and an electric motor, but it has a larger battery that can be recharged from an external power source. Electric vehicles run entirely on electric power and must be charged from an external source. They are not equipped with a gas engine and produce zero tailpipe emissions.
