Hybrid vs electric
Everything you need to know
Hybrids
A hybrid is powered by a combination of an electric motor and an internal combustion engine. It only uses the electric motor when accelerating and at speeds of up to around 25 km/h, which makes it an ideal vehicle for driving in the city. If the speed increases, the internal combustion engine kicks in. The electric motor is charged every time you brake while driving.
Plug-in hybrids
Plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) have an internal combustion engine and electric motor just like hybrids do. PHEVs have larger batteries than hybrids and are primarily charged by connecting the car to a charging station, hence the name "plug-in hybrid". This gives plug-in hybrids a much greater battery range than hybrids.
EVs
A battery electric vehicle (BEV) relies on a powerful battery connected to at least one electric motor. There is no petrol, natural gas or oil involved. BEVs are becoming increasingly widespread thanks to innovative technologies from companies such as Tesla, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen and Nissan.
Moreover, charging infrastructure and technologies are constantly developing and improving, and the charging network has grown exponentially over recent years both in Greece and worldwide.
