PHEVHEV
PHEVHEV is a term used in automotive discourse to describe a hypothetical vehicle category that blends elements of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and conventional hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). In this concept, the vehicle carries a rechargeable battery that can be charged from an external power source, enabling electric drive for extended ranges, while also maintaining an internal combustion engine and on-board power management to support operation when grid charging is unavailable or when higher power is needed.
Operating modes and conceptual goals. A PHEVHEV would enable transitions among multiple propulsion modes, including pure
Technologies and architectures. Realizing a PHEVHEV would rely on a larger, grid-rechargeable battery paired with an
Status and outlook. As of now, PHEVHEV is not an established category in mainstream automotive classifications,
