Battery Electric Vehicles use electricity for all miles of travel. The electricity can be from standard 120V or 240V AC house
circuits, 3-phase 208V commercial circuits or 600-850V DC Fast Charge public chargers. Most charging is AC, overnight, at home.
Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles use “mains” electricity for the first 10-126 miles of travel and then automatically switch over to the
gasoline engine. PHEVs offer essentially unlimited range with the environmental and cost saving benefits of EVs for most in-town
driving. Each Plug-in Hybrid offers a different mix of electric and gasoline ranges.
