Types of electric vehicles

Which one do you prefer?
Number coding exempted.

HEV, PHEV, and EV are types of electric vehicles with different levels of reliance on electric power:
1. HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle): HEVs combine an internal combustion engine with an electric motor. They use regenerative braking to charge the battery, provide limited electric-only driving, and rely heavily on the combustion engine. They don't need to be plugged in and offer better fuel efficiency than conventional vehicles.

2. PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle): PHEVs have both an electric motor and an internal combustion engine. They can operate on electricity alone for a limited range before switching to hybrid mode. PHEVs can be charged from an external power source and provide flexibility with longer electric range.

3. EV (Electric Vehicle): EVs rely solely on electric power and use rechargeable batteries. They need to be regularly charged from an external power source and have no combustion engine. EVs offer zero tailpipe emissions and are more dependent on charging infrastructure, providing longer electric ranges compared to hybrids.

Each type provides varying degrees of electric power and offers different advantages based on driving needs and charging accessibility.
