Start nowPlug-in hybrid cars for sale offer several benefits. They are fuel-efficient, using both an electric motor and a gasoline engine to reduce fuel consumption, especially for short trips.
This leads to cost savings, contributing to a cleaner environment and fewer tailpipe emissions.
The flexibility of using electric power for short distances and petrol or diesel for longer trips helps alleviate range anxiety, too.
Additionally, the combination of electric and engine power provides a smooth and powerful driving experience.
But how do they work? Plug-in hybrids have a battery that can be charged by plugging into a three-pin socket, wall box charger or public fast charger.
This battery powers an electric motor that drives the car. When the battery is low, an engine kicks in to either drive the car or recharge the battery, offering greater efficiency and flexibility.
There are some very distinct differences between a plug-in hybrid (PHEV), Self-charging hybrid (HEV) and mild hybrid (MHEV).
PHEVs have a larger battery that can be charged by plugging into an electrical outlet. They can run on electric power alone for short distances, and switch to a petrol or diesel engine when the battery is depleted.
HEVs combine an engine with an electric motor. The battery is charged through regenerative braking and the running engine, but they cannot be plugged in. HEVs use an electric motor to assist the engine, improving overall fuel efficiency.
MHEVs use a smaller battery and an electric motor to assist the engine. The electric motor provides extra power during acceleration and helps with fuel-saving features like start-stop systems, and in some models, it can power the wheels for a few hundred metres
PHEVs can often offer lower running costs compared to traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) cars.
The primary savings come from reduced fuel consumption, as PHEVs can run on electric power alone for short distances, which is cheaper than gasoline.
Charging the battery at home is a lot cheaper than using a public charger, so it’s best to keep that in mind.
Maintenance costs can also be lower because the electric motor reduces wear and tear on the engine. However, PHEVs may have higher initial purchase prices and potential costs for home charging equipment, but if you buy a used one, the costs will soon become much more palatable.
Additionally, the overall savings depend on driving habits, electricity rates, and fuel prices, but overall they’re going to be cheaper for daily driving, especially in electric mode.
That’s the beauty of plug-in hybrid cars – they can fit everyone’s life.
Because they’re not fully electric, you can still rely heavily on the engine, and when you’re able to charge it, it’s more efficient and better for towns and cities.
A plug-in hybrid uses a rechargeable battery and an electric motor to drive the car for short distances. When the battery is low, an engine kicks in to either drive the car or recharge the battery.
The main difference is, that a self-charging hybrid doesn’t need to be plugged in while a plug-in hybrid car needs to be plugged into get an all-electric range.
This massively depends on where you charge. Using a public charger will be significantly more expensive than charging at home.
This can be done via a three-pin plug, but we’d recommend getting a wallbox charger installed as it’s safer and faster.
This depends on the car. Some have 20 miles of electric driving range, whereas others have upwards of 70 miles.
