Difference Between EVs, HEVs, and PHEVs

The defining quality of EVs is the absence of internal combustion engines. Battery power runs the wheels and the entire system of the vehicle here. EVs can be charged using Level 1 or 2 chargers at home or commercial charging stations. On the other hand, HEVs house both an electric motor and an internal combustion engine. Also, charging happens through regenerative braking, which stores kinetic energy within the battery, further helping the internal combustion engine accelerate the vehicle. Plug-in Hybrids (PHEVs), too, have the above combination to generate power for the wheels to move. Gas usage is reduced here since the battery stores enough power for the electric motor to run.
