    Study Notes

    1. PHEVs can be charged at outlets and operate on electric power.
    2. PHEVs have badges, an access door for charging, and a different instrument panel.
    3. Battery capacity determines the EV range of a PHEV.
    4. Cold weather reduces battery efficiency in electric vehicles.
    5. Hot weather requires battery cooling and reduces vehicle range.
    6. EV range depends on battery energy, vehicle weight, temperature, terrain, and driving habits.
    7. EVs have a shorter driving range than conventional vehicles.
    8. The cost of charging an EV is similar to operating a central air conditioner.
    9. Kilowatts per 100 miles is used to express an EV's energy consumption.
    10. Batteries work best within the temperature range of 68°F to 78°F (20°C to 26°C).
    • Batteries perform best within a narrow temperature range.
    • Range anxiety is a common feeling for electric vehicle drivers.
    • Level 1 charging uses a standard 110/120-volt outlet and results in 2 to 5 miles of range per hour.
    • Level 1 charging is best done overnight.
    • Safety precautions should be taken when using the charging cord.
    • Gasoline-powered generators can be used to charge electric vehicles but require the neutral and ground to be tied together.
    • The neutral and ground must be electrically isolated except in the main panel.
    • Older homes may not have proper electrical outlets for charging electric vehicles.
    • A missing ground terminal will prevent electric vehicles from charging.
    • Heating just the seats and steering wheel can conserve electrical power.
