Different Types of Electric Vehicles Explained

Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV): These vehicles are powered entirely by electricity and are more efficient than hybrids and plug-in hybrids. BEVs are also known as fully electric vehicles (AEV). Instead of gasoline, these vehicles run solely on battery power. The electricity used to drive the car is stored in a large battery which can be recharged by plugging it into the electricity grid.

Hybrid electric vehicle (HEV): Hybrid electric vehicles use an internal combustion engine (usually gasoline) and a battery-powered powertrain. The gasoline engine drives the car and charges the battery when it is empty. These vehicles are not as efficient as fully electric or plug-in hybrid cars. A hybrid electric vehicle cannot be plugged in to charge the battery. Instead, the battery is charged by regenerative braking and internal combustion engines, and unlike most electric cars, hybrid electric vehicles recharge their batteries through regenerative braking.

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV): uses an internal combustion engine and a battery charged from an external outlet (they have a socket). This means that the vehicle's battery can be charged with electricity rather than the engine. PHEVs are more efficient than HEVs but less efficient than BEVs.

Fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV): Electrical energy is produced from chemical energy. For example, a hydrogen FCEV. FCEVs are also known as zero-emission vehicles. They use fuel cell technology to produce the electricity needed to run the car. The chemical energy of the fuel is converted directly into electrical energy.
