The operating principle of a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is similar to that of a conventional hybrid: the gasoline engine works simultaneously with the electric motor and battery. The battery of a plug-in hybrid vehicle is much larger than that of a conventional hybrid, allowing it to travel about 50 kilometers solely on electric power. This distance is sufficient for daily commutes in the city, and thanks to the gasoline engine, it can cover much greater distances.

Like a conventional hybrid vehicle, the battery of a plug-in hybrid can be charged while driving. However, to maximize the advantages of the system, charge the battery using an electrical outlet – a full charge should take up to 3 hours. Once done, you can enjoy cheaper electric kilometers and also have a gasoline engine tailored for occasional longer trips. Ideal.

When using only electricity, PHEV vehicles are exceptionally quiet and create a relaxing atmosphere. Driving is simple, as electric motors reach maximum torque across the entire rpm range – ensuring quick acceleration.
