  2. Hybrid electric vehicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_electric_vehicle

    Some states, e.g., California, exempted hybrid electric cars from the biennial smog inspection, which costs over $50 (as of 2004). Until 2007, the city of San Jose, California, issued a free parking tag for hybrid electric cars purchased at San Jose dealerships, after which the tag began being issued for a fee annually. The qualified owners did ...

  3. Hybrid vehicle drivetrain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_vehicle_drivetrain

    Structure of a series-hybrid vehicle. The grey square represents a differential gear. An alternative arrangement (not shown) is to have electric motors at two or four wheels. Series hybrids are also referred to as extended-range electric vehicles (EREV) [5] or range-extended electric vehicles (REEV), or electric vehicle with extended range ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_A._Frank

    Frank's choice for the best PHEV design is a "parallel hybrid configuration" comprising an electric motor, internal combustion engine, continuously variable transmission and a high capacity battery. Additional benefits of PHEVs include load leveling of our electrical grid (vehicle-to-grid) and our electrical use at home (vehicle-to-house). [8]

  5. Plug-in hybrid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug-in_hybrid

    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.

  6. Electric vehicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_vehicle

    A charging station, also known as a charge point, chargepoint, or electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), is a power supply device that supplies electrical power for recharging plug-in electric vehicles (including battery electric vehicles, electric trucks, electric buses, neighborhood electric vehicles, and plug-in hybrid vehicles).

  7. Alternative fuel vehicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_fuel_vehicle

    The most common type of hybrid vehicle is the gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles, which use gasoline (petrol) and electric batteries for the energy used to power internal-combustion engines (ICEs) and electric motors. These motors are usually relatively small and would be considered "underpowered" by themselves, but they can provide a normal ...

  8. Human–electric hybrid vehicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human–electric_hybrid...

    A human–electric hybrid vehicle is a hybrid vehicle, or more specifically a hybrid human-powered vehicle, whose drivetrain consists of a human being and an electric motor/generator (and one or more electricity-storage device(s) such as a battery(ies) or ultracapacitor(s)). [1]

    48V starter-generator can also be mounted differently and be uncoupled from combustion engine by transmission or clutch. This might allow 48V electric motor move the vehicle without starting combustion engine. In this case 48V equipped vehicle should be counted as Hybrid Electric Vehicle. Examples: Hyundai Tucson 48V
