Types of Hybrid vehicles

HEVS Hybrid Electric Vehicle

Traditional hybrids are commonly referred to as self-charging hybrids. They feature a petrol engine and an electric motor which is recharged via regenerative braking when you stop or slow down. It will use this electric power at speeds under 20mph before switching to the petrol engine when more power and speed is required.

PHEV Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle

A plug-in hybrid pairs a petrol engine with a larger battery pack. The car will use this electric supply first, usually around 30 miles of zero emission driving, before switching to its petrol engine. You can recharge the battery at home using your mains charger or a 7.4 kW wallbox, or alternatively at a public charging point.

If the environmental impact is your main concern, then an electric car is the best choice for you. However, hybrid cars offer more flexibility overall. They’re cheap to run and use a combination of fuel and electricity meaning they don’t need to be charged up (unless you choose a plug-in hybrid).

If you choose a a plug-in hybrid, they do need to be charged up. However a standard hybrid uses excess energy from the engine to charge the battery, so it’s self charging.
