PHEV (Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle)

Power Materials

A PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) is a hybrid electric vehicle whose battery can be recharged by plugging a charging cable into an external electric power source, and also internally by its on-board internal combustion engine-powered generator. Most PHEVs are passenger cars, but there are also PHEV versions of commercial vehicles and vans, utility trucks, buses, trains, motorcycles, mopeds, and even military vehicles.
