Mild Hybrid
Mild Hybrid vehicles have two sources of power that work together – a conventional engine and a battery driven electric motor. The electric motor does not power the car. It simply assists it.
Hybrid
A Hybrid is capable of driving short distances on electric power alone.
Plug-In Hybrid
When fully charged, Plug-in Hybrids can operate on electric power for journeys of approximately 30 miles. Once the battery runs out of charge, the vehicle will behave like a hybrid with the conventional engine running when necessary.
All Electric
The range on a fully charged All-Electric vehicle varies from 100 miles on older models to approximately 300 miles on newer models.
