TRANSCRIPT
Powered by both electricity and gas. Battery-only travel
is designed for short to medium distances.
PHEVs on average travel between 10 and 100 miles on electricity
before needing to plug in. Their gas tanks extend total range between 300 and 600 miles. Some designs allow drivers to choose when to
use electricity or gas.
Standard home outlets
use the adapter cable that comes
with the car, featuring a standard
three-prong plug for a wall outlet
and plug for your car. This adds
a few miles of range for every
hour plugged in.
Rapid home charger requires an initial purchase and
installation of the charger cable.
Plug the cable directly into your
vehicle. This may be a good option
if you drive many miles a day, as
vehicles get 10-25 miles of range
for every hour plugged in.
Public chargerslevels 2 and 3, offer more rapid
charging times. (Most public
charging stations in Kentucky are
Level 2 chargers.) They enable
drivers to make longer trips or
recharge while they shop or dine.
BEVs can travel further on electricity but their total range is limited by battery size. Range is increasing, with some models
promising more than 200 miles on a single charge.
Powered by an electric motor only with battery
travel designed for medium to long distances.
