A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHV), or plug-in hybrid is a hybrid vehicle which utilizes rechargable batteries, or another energy storage device, that can be restored to full charge by connecting
a plug to an external electric power source. A PHEV shares the
characteristics of both a conventional hybrid electric vehicle, having electric motor and an internal combustion engine (ICE); and of an all-electric vehicle, having
a plug to connect to the electric grid. Most PHEVs on the road today
are passenger cars, but there are also PHEV versions of commercial
vehicles and vans, utility trucks, buses, trains, motorcycles,scooters,and military vehicles.
