Plug-in Hybrids
Plug-in hybrids are similar to traditional hybrids but are also equipped with a larger, more advanced battery that allows the vehicle to be plugged in and recharged in addition to refueling with gasoline. This larger battery allows you to drive on a combination of electric and gasoline fuels. Some plug-in hybrids will offer 10 to 40 miles of all-electric range and will behave very much like battery electric vehicles until the battery is nearly depleted and the engine starts.
Benefits – Plug-in hybrids have reduced smog and global warming emissions and lower fuel costs, while providing the same conveniences in driving range and gasoline fueling capability as traditional hybrid electric vehicles.
