Many automakers are looking to plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) to help transition their companies and drivers into a future filled with electric vehicles (EVs). Currently, many brands have at least one PHEV model in their lineup or on the way. But one particular automaker leads the pack with five available PHEVs. Find out the PHEVs this manufacturer offers.

What a PHEV is and how it works

A hybrid vehicle uses a gasoline engine and at least one electric motor to generate power. In addition, it captures energy from regenerative braking and stores it in its battery pack, explains Car and Driver. In most hybrid vehicles, an electric motor and gas engine are connected to the same transmission, which uses power from both to turn the wheels. Sometimes a hybrid uses just the electric motor(s) to power the wheels and the gas engine to recharge the battery. These hybrids cannot be plugged in unless they are also plug-in hybrids.

A PHEV has a much larger battery pack than a non-plug-in hybrid. The large battery can be recharged from an external source of electricity by plugging it in. Its extra electric power gives it a more extended electric range to use less gas. If it hasn’t been plugged in, it will use the engine more and operate the way a non-plug-in hybrid does.

A PHEV’s all-electric range is between 10 and 30 miles per charge, and some PHEVs have a range of up to 50 miles, says Progressive. The gas engine lets a PHEV travel several hundred miles before refueling or recharging. It is beneficial for people who mainly drive short distances around town but occasionally also want to take long trips without worrying about range, says Consumer Reports.
