Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles Tutorial

As with other hybrids, a plug-in hybrid vehicle has the ability to run on either electricity or an internal combustion engine. Plug-in hybrids have a larger battery than the batteries of conventional hybrids that can be recharged by plugging into an appropriate outlet. Recharged vehicles can provide 20-60 miles of all electric, zero emission range without engine power. Plug-in hybrids are being tested in prototype form and may soon be available for sale.

Another next step is for a plug-in based renewable community. Drive home and plug your car into a house that requires little or no electricity and gets most of what it does need from renewable sources.
