Hybrid vs. Electric Cars

Do you need to charge a hybrid vehicle? In short, it depends on the model. While hybrid vehicles utilize an electric motor to assist a combustion engine, an electric vehicle is powered solely by its battery. All EVs need to be plugged in to charge the battery, but most hybrid vehicles charge their battery through regenerative braking. This is when the hybrid captures energy from the vehicle slowing down and uses that energy to recharge.

Some hybrid vehicles are plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, or PHEVs, more similar to electric vehicles. However, you can still drive a PHEV without regularly charging the battery. While designed as a combustion-assisted electric engine, a PHEV still has some energy stored away due to its self-charging technology.
