• HEV: Hybrid Electric Vehicle
• PHEV: Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle – A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is quite simply a hybrid car you can ‘plug in’, meaning the battery can be charged from an electric outlet such as a public charge point or even a three-pin socket in your garage.
• BEV: Battery Electric Vehicle
• Series Hybrid: The electric motor is the only means of providing power to the wheels.
• Parallel Hybrid: Use both electric motor and an engine to power the wheels.
• Full Hybrid: can propel the vehicle solely on its electric motor, without running the conventional engine.
• “SELF-CHARGING Hybrid” is often used as another term for non-plug-in hybrid cars, which use one (or more) electric motors to improve the performance of the car’s combustion engine.
• Mild hybrid: a hybrid vehicle that cannot run on electric battery alone, but uses the electric motor to assist the engine and improve fuel efficiency.
• Strong hybrid: a hybrid vehicle that can run on electric battery alone for short distances, as well as using the engine and the electric motor together or separately4.
