What is the difference between hybrid vs plug in hybrid performance wise and generally how they work?
In: Technology
The main difference is the amount of stored electrical energy. Plug-in hybrids store 10-30 times more energy (and thus have greater range) than full hybrids, recharging primarily by plugging into an electrical outlet, with some energy recuperation during braking, where the electric motor acts as a generator, converting kinetic energy into electrical energy to recharge the battery. Full hybrids recharge only through braking energy recuperation.
