What is a Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV)?
A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is a type of hybrid vehicle that features a larger battery pack which can be recharged by plugging into an external power source, in addition to regenerative braking and the internal combustion engine. This allows PHEVs to operate on pure electric power for short distances and switch to hybrid mode for longer journeys.
