The combination of an electric motor with all electrical capabilities and a small onboard internal combustion engine (ICE) for extended-range capabilities is what makes up plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). Unlike hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), PHEVs have a battery pack which is recharged by plugging into a standard electrical outlet. The battery pack serves as the primary source of power for relatively short distances (electric range). When this range is exceeded and the battery is depleted to a certain level, the vehicle switches to hybrid mode. In some models, this includes utilizing the energy re-captured from regenerative braking, turning off the electric motor, and allowing the ICE to take over completely. The unique advantage of plug-in hybrids is that they combine the environmentally beneficial operation of electric vehicles and the operational abilities of ICEs, as well as refueling, if necessary.
