    Study Notes

    Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs)

    • After the battery range is utilized, a PHEV operates as a conventional hybrid electric vehicle.

    Advantages of PHEVs

    • The primary advantage of a PHEV over a conventional hybrid vehicle is the ability to recharge the battery from an external power source, allowing for increased electric-only operation.

    Electric Vehicles

    • When operating solely on battery power, electric vehicles do not provide the benefit of reducing noise pollution in rural areas.
    • In urban environments, electric vehicles provide the significant environmental benefit of reducing pollution from tailpipe emissions.

    Performance of Electric Vehicles

    • Electric vehicles can achieve similar speeds to internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles during normal driving.

    Electric Vehicle Operation

    • An electric vehicle's electric motor delivers power to the vehicle when the vehicle is in motion.
