All PHEVs can charge at an EVgo L2 charger, but most PHEVs are not capable of supporting fast charging. Once the all-electric range is depleted, PHEVs act as regular hybrids, and can travel several hundred miles on a tank of gasoline. While regular hybrids can (at low speed) travel 1-2 miles before the gasoline engine turns on, PHEVs can go anywhere from 10-40 miles before their gas engines provide assistance. A full hybrid car recharges its electric battery using its gas. In 2020, PHEVs accounted for about 3.5 of all new passenger car registrations in Europe. They differ from regular hybrids by having a much larger battery, and being able to plug into the grid to recharge. Also, a plug-in hybrids electric battery can be recharged at home or a public charging station. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) can use electricity as well as conventional fuel for propulsion (Bradley & Frank, 2009). Like regular hybrids, they can recharge their battery through regenerative braking. Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles, or PHEVs, have both an engine and electric motor to drive the car.
