A Plug-In Hybrid is a type of vehicle that combines a traditional internal combustion engine with an electric motor. It can run on gasoline or electricity, allowing for greater flexibility in how it is powered. The electric motor can be charged by plugging the vehicle into an electrical outlet, which enables it to drive short distances on electric power alone. These vehicles typically have a larger battery compared to standard hybrids, providing a longer electric-only range. This makes them an appealing option for those looking to reduce fuel consumption and emissions while still having the convenience of a gasoline engine for longer trips.
