A hybrid is manufactured with an internal combustion engine (ICE) and an electric motor that runs on stored energy. The charged energy that the battery uses is generated through braking and the ICE, so charging isn’t required. But paying at the pump is. Hybrids are fuel-efficient because of the added electric motor.
There are also plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV). A PHEV operates the same way as a hybrid, but its batteries have a more extended range because of the additional charging capability. Some models can travel 100 miles alone on electricity.
PEVs, on the other hand, run solely on an electric battery, which is charged at designated public stations or at home through a power cord.
