 1. HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle)

Powertrain: Uses both a gasoline engine and an electric motor.

Battery: Small battery charged through regenerative braking and the gasoline engine.

Fuel Source: Gasoline-only (battery assists but does not provide independent propulsion).

Charging: Cannot be plugged in; relies on the engine and regenerative braking for recharging.

Operation:

Runs primarily on the gasoline engine.

The electric motor assists in improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions.

At low speeds or short distances, it may run purely on the electric motor, but not for long.

✅ Example Models: Toyota Prius (HEV), Honda Accord Hybrid.

2. PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle)

Powertrain: Uses both a gasoline engine and a larger electric motor than HEVs.

Battery: Larger battery than HEVs, allowing for independent electric-only driving.

Fuel Source:

Uses both gasoline and electricity.

Can run on electricity first and switch to gas when the battery depletes.

Charging:

Can be plugged in to a home charger or public charging station.

Also charges through regenerative braking.

Operation:

Can drive short distances (typically 20-50 miles) on electric power alone.

After battery depletion, the gasoline engine takes over to extend the range.

✅ Example Models: Toyota Prius Prime (PHEV), Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.

3. BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle)

Powertrain: Fully electric; only uses an electric motor for propulsion.

Battery: Large battery pack providing all necessary energy.

Fuel Source: 100% electricity (No gasoline engine present).

Charging:

Must be plugged in to a charger (home, public station, or fast charger).

Uses regenerative braking but cannot self-charge like hybrids.

Operation:

Runs entirely on electricity, producing zero emissions.

Range depends on battery capacity (varies from 150 to over 400 miles per charge).

✅ Example Models: Tesla Model 3, Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Bolt.
