BMW’s Phevs offer distinct advantages over conventional hybrid and petrol engines.
If you’re like most motorists, you’ve probably been reading about PHEVs, hybrids and EVs. All these terms can get a bit confusing, even for today’s tech-savvy buyers.
If you’ve been wondering what these terms mean, we’ve got a quick and handy guide for you.
HYBRID
These are cars that have both petrol and electric motors. The electric motor is driven by a battery pack, which in turn is charged by the petrol engine. When there’s enough charge in the battery pack, the car can run on electricity alone.
When the driver requires more power, both the electric motor and petrol engine will work together. The motorist enjoys both power and efficiency.
PHEV
PHEV refers to plug-in hybrids, or hybrid cars that allow drivers to charge their battery packs by plugging them into a charging station or regular wall socket.
