An (electric or hybrid) powertrain can be added to a glider [78] by an aftermarket installer. In 2013 a University of Central Florida design team, On the Green, worked to develop a bolt-on hybrid conversion kit to transform an older model vehicle into a gas-electric hybrid. [79]
Another subtype of hybrid vehicles is the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. The plug-in hybrid is usually a general fuel-electric (parallel or serial) hybrid with increased energy storage capacity, usually through a lithium-ion battery, which allows the vehicle to drive on all-electric mode a distance that depends on the battery size and its ...
Full hybrid, sometimes also called a strong hybrid, is a vehicle that can run entirely on its electric motor for a period of time. [21] Ford's hybrid system, Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive, Peugeot-Citroën's HYbrid4 and General Motors/Chrysler's Two-Mode Hybrid technologies are full hybrid systems. [22]
There are variations on that theme, chief among them the plug-in hybrid (PHEV), which adds a charge port and swaps in a larger battery for extended electric-only driving between gas-station visits.
A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) or simply plug-in hybrid is a type of hybrid electric vehicle equipped with a rechargeable battery pack that can be directly replenished via a charging cable plugged into an external electric power source, in addition to charging internally by its on-board internal combustion engine-powered generator.
This is a list of hybrid vehicles. A hybrid could theoretically have any two power sources, but hybrid vehicles have typically combined an internal combustion engine with a battery and electric motor(s). This list includes both regular hybrid electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, in chronological order of first production. Since Porsche made ...
The beginning of the end of the internal combustion engine may be at hand, paving a bright future for electric vehicles (EV) and plug-in hybrid-electric (PHEV), making this an excellent time to go...
The Alexander Dennis Enviro350H was a hybrid-electric powered single-decker bus manufactured by Alexander Dennis between 2010 and 2013. [1] It was the first Alexander Dennis bus model which was only sold as a hybrid-electric vehicle, the Enviro200H, 400H and 500H models having diesel-powered equivalents.
