Hybrid electric vehicles are powered by an internal combustion engine and an electric motor, which uses energy stored in batteries. The battery is charged through regenerative braking, by the internal combustion engine and some models do have plug-in capabilities.
In this training you will learn about:
• hybrid technology
• its components
• how it works
Drive is Australia's most authoritative source of information for consumers researching to buy a new car.
With a dedicated team of experts, Drive is committed to providing independent informative car reviews and comparisons of the newest vehicles in Australian showrooms.
We welcome lively debate and all opinions so feel free to comment below, and if you have any questions we will be quick to answer them.
Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV): These vehicles are powered entirely by electricity and are more efficient than hybrid and plug-in hybrids. BEVs are also known as All-Electric Vehicles (AEV). Instead of gasoline, these vehicles run solely on battery power. The electricity used to drive the car is stored in a large battery pack which can be charged by plugging it into the electricity grid.
Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV): Hybrid Electric vehicles use an internal combustion (usually gasoline) engine and a battery-powered motor powertrain. The gasoline engine drives the car and charges the battery when empty. These vehicles are not as efficient as fully electric or plug-in hybrid cars. A hybrid electric vehicle cannot be plugged in to charge the battery. Instead, the battery is charged by regenerative braking and internal combustion engines, and unlike most electric cars, hybrid electric vehicles charge their batteries through regenerative braking.
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV): Uses an internal combustion engine and a battery charged from an external socket (they have a plug). This means the vehicle’s battery can be charged with electricity rather than the engine. PHEVs are more efficient than HEVs but less efficient than BEVs.
Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV): Electric energy is produced from chemical energy. For example, a hydrogen FCEV. FCEVs are also known as Zero-Emission Vehicles. They employ fuel cell technology to generate the electricity required to run the car. The chemical energy of the fuel is converted directly into electric energy.
