1. Whether hybrid cars need to be charged: Whether hybrid cars need to be charged depends on their type. At present, hybrid vehicles on the market are mainly divided into two types: plug-in hybrid and non plug in hybrid.
2. Plug in hybrid: This type of hybrid vehicle requires charging. They are equipped with a large capacity battery pack that can be charged through an external power source to extend the range in electric drive mode. When fully charged, PHEVs can travel a certain distance solely on electricity, reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
3. Non plug-in hybrid: This type of hybrid vehicle does not require charging. They charge the battery through the vehicle's own braking energy recovery system and the surplus energy generated during engine operation, achieving energy recycling. The battery capacity of HEV is relatively small, mainly used to assist engine operation, improve fuel economy and reduce emissions, without the need for an external power source for charging.
