Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) vs. Pure Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV)
Have you seen the terms PHEV and BEV, but have always wondered what they meant? PHEV stands for 'plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.' This means that PHEV models are powered by both gasoline and electricity. In order to recharge, the vehicle must be plugged into a charging port. The Audi A3 Sportback e-tron® is considered a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. BEV stands for 'pure battery electric vehicle,' which means that these models run strictly on electricity. The three concept vehicles mentioned above are considered pure battery electric vehicles.
