Types of Electric Vehicles

Not all EVs work the same way. Here's what sets them apart.

⚡ BEV

Battery Electric Vehicle

A BEV runs entirely on electricity — no gasoline engine, no exhaust pipe, zero direct tailpipe emissions. Power comes from a rechargeable battery pack charged at home or at public charging stations.

With far fewer moving parts than a gas vehicle, no oil changes, no transmission fluid, and no exhaust system. BEVs typically cost less to maintain and deliver instant torque from a standstill.

🔌 PHEV

Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle

A PHEV pairs a gasoline engine with a rechargeable battery large enough to handle most daily driving on electricity alone. Once the battery depletes, it transitions seamlessly to hybrid mode.

Most PHEVs cover 20–50+ miles on electric power before the gas engine kicks in, enough for the average daily commute without burning any fuel. Note: most PHEVs support Level 2 charging but not DC fast charging.
