2. Health and environmental effects of battery electric cars

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_and_environmental...

   As of 2016, a hybrid electric passenger car might use 5 kg (11 lb) of lithium carbonate equivalent, while one of Tesla's high performance electric cars could use as much as 80 kg (180 lb) of lithium carbonate equivalent. [19] Most electric vehicles use permanent magnet motors as they are more efficient than induction motors.

   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.

4. Plug-in electric vehicle fire - Wikipedia

   Fire incidents in highway-capable vehicles occur relatively frequently (and mostly involve non-PHEV vehicles, at least in the US). A study of U.S. fires from 2003–2007 finds that fire departments respond to an average of 287,000 vehicle fires per year, or 30 vehicle fires per hour, and that vehicles were involved in 17% of all reported U.S. fires.

   With a hybrid, you are still partially dependent on fossil fuels. Additionally, hybrids still have some environmental impact during the manufacturing process and battery disposal. 3.

6. Charge-depleting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge-depleting

   Battery electric vehicles operate solely in this mode. Most plug-in hybrids operate in charge-depleting mode at startup, and switch to charge-sustaining mode after the battery has reached its minimum state of charge (SOC) threshold, exhausting the vehicle's all-electric range (AER). Although there is no technically mandated minimum all-electric ...

   Nissan Leaf cutaway showing part of the battery in 2009. An electric vehicle battery is a rechargeable battery used to power the electric motors of a battery electric vehicle (BEV) or hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). They are typically lithium-ion batteries that are designed for high power-to-weight ratio and energy density.
