Types of electric vehicles

Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV/EV)

Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV/EV)

  • Electric cars are vehicles that use electric power to move. They are not fueled by gasoline, and they rely on an electric motor and battery to get them going. These cars are a cost-effective option compared to other types of EVs, especially when you compare the price of the car itself with the cost of electricity over time.
  • Electric cars are less expensive to charge and maintain than gas cars, and they don't require any of the extra maintenance that gas cars do. This makes them a much cheaper option over the long run.
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV)

Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV)

  • Plug-in hybrid vehicles have all of the same components as hybrid vehicles, but the batteries are larger and can be recharged by plugging in.
  • Plug-in hybrids offer drivers a range of up to 80 km on electric power alone, with the ability to switch over to gasoline engines or generators for longer trips. Once the battery is depleted, the car will operate as a regular hybrid until it runs out of gas.
  • Plug-in hybrids are more affordable to drive than traditional Hybrids because they provide all-electric driving for most day to day needs, while still offering equal or better fuel economy when operating in gasoline mode.
Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV/EV)

Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV/Hybrid)

  • Hybrids, which are a type of electric car, first became popular in the 1990s. Today, you're unlikely to find a non-hybrid version of any model on the market.
  • Hybrids have a gasoline engine, an electric motor, and a small battery pack. The battery is rechargeable through 'regenerative braking.' When the vehicle comes to a stop, the electric motor switches on and when it first accelerates, the gasoline engine takes over. This way, hybrids let the electric motor and gasoline engine work together to improve your efficiency and reduce your fuel costs.
  • Hybrids are not just powered by gasoline, like traditional gas cars. They deliver better fuel efficiency and lower fuel costs than traditional gas cars, but they are still mainly powered by gasoline. As a result, hybrids often do not come up in conversations surrounding electric vehicles.
