			<h3>Electric Car Basics</h3>		
		<p><strong>What is the difference between a hybrid and an electric car? </strong></p><p>A hybrid car derives some of its power from a conventional gasoline engine, and all of its energy from gasoline. A hybrid’s battery is typically only recharged from regenerative braking energy when the car slows being put back into the battery.</p><p>On the other hand, an electric car gets driving power from an electric motor, and that energy is from a battery that has been recharged from the grid or another external source.</p><p><strong>There are two types of electric cars, or plug in electrified vehicles (PEVs): Battery electrics (BEVs) which run on electricity only, and plug in hybrid electrics (PHEVs)</strong> which can first run on electricity from the battery for a shorter range (often the distance of a daily commute, or more), then seamlessly switch to a full tank of gasoline if the battery gets low.</p><p>PHEVs therefore will always have the range you need, and can be driven and fueled just like the car you drive now. Today’s BEVs have more range than 90% of commuters and others drive daily. Some models are available in either BEV or PHEV.</p><p><strong>Most BEVs have a range of between 114 and 315 miles depending upon model.</strong> They must be recharged when the battery gets low, and can be done slowly (typically overnight at home while you sleep) or more quickly using a public fast charging station. But mostly, they are <a href="https://hmlp-ev.ene.org/charging-guide/home-installation-help/">charged conveniently at home, overnight while you sleep</a>.</p><p><strong>Today’s PHEVs a have a battery range between 14 and 114 miles, and then typically a full tank of gasoline range, 300-500+ miles.</strong> When operating in hybrid mode, they also get better gas mileage than comparable gasoline only vehicles.</p>
