Frequently Asked Questions

Q Does a PHEV charge while driving?

A

Yes, a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) can recharge its battery whilst you are driving using regenerative braking. This smart technology captures energy that is normally lost during braking and deceleration, converting it into energy for the battery. However, it’s important to note that regenerative braking alone won’t fully recharge the battery. To achieve a complete charge, PHEVs need to be plugged into a power source. This combination of on-the-go energy recovery and plug-in charging makes PHEVs both efficient and versatile.
