Kytkinmallin
Kytkinmallin, also known as the "plug-in hybrid," is a type of hybrid electric vehicle that combines a conventional internal combustion engine with an electric motor and a rechargeable battery pack. The primary advantage of a kytkinmallin is its ability to switch between electric and gasoline power, allowing for improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions compared to conventional vehicles. The electric motor provides assistance during acceleration and low-speed driving, while the internal combustion engine takes over for higher speeds and longer distances. Kytkinmallins can be recharged using external power sources, such as standard electrical outlets, making them convenient for daily use. They are particularly popular in urban areas where frequent stop-and-go traffic and short trips are common. The term "kytkinmallin" is Finnish, and the concept has gained popularity in various countries, including the United States and Europe, where manufacturers offer similar models under different names, such as plug-in hybrids or PHEVs.
