Learn More About BEVs
Rechargeable Electric vehicles, commonly referred to as EVs or BEVs, are completely electric cars without a gasoline engine that run on rechargeable batteries. The battery pack, which receives recharging from the grid, provides all of Study Up on BEVs.
Rechargeable Electric vehicles, commonly referred to as EVs or BEVs, are completely electric cars without a gasoline engine that run on rechargeable batteries. The battery pack, which receives recharging from the grid, provides all of the energy needed to operate the car. Because they do not produce any harmful exhaust emissions or air pollution hazards like regular gasoline-powered vehicles do, BEVs are considered zero emissions vehicles. A complete list of EV models that are compatible with rapid charging is provided in the chart above, and some of the more well-known types are shown here.

Learn More About PHEVs
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, often known as PHEVs, are powered by an electric motor in addition to an engine. They can use regenerative braking to replenish their batteries, just like conventional hybrids. Their larger battery and ability to recharge by plugging into the grid set them apart from standard hybrids. PHEVs can drive anywhere from 10 to 40 miles before their gas engines need to start up, whereas standard hybrids can only go one to two miles at moderate speeds before needing to start up. PHEVs function as standard hybrids after their all-electric range runs out, and they can cover many hundred miles on a single gas tank. While most PHEVs are not able to enable rapid charging, all PHEVs can charge at an EVgo L2 station.

Learn More About HEVs
Hybrid Electric Vehicles, or HEVs, are powered by an electric motor in addition to a gas engine. Regenerative braking, which recovers energy lost during braking to help the gasoline engine during acceleration, provides all of the energy for the battery. Typically, the braking energy of an internal combustion engine vehicle is dissipated as heat within the brake pads and rotors. Normal hybrid vehicles are unable to charge or recharge by plugging into the grid.
