plug-in hybrid

Chargeable gasoline car

A plug-in hybrid is a vehicle that combines a gasoline engine with an electric motor and battery that can be recharged from an external power source.

Unlike conventional hybrids, plug-in hybrids can travel meaningful distances on electricity alone before the gas engine kicks in: My plug-in hybrid gets me to work and back without using any gas.

Often abbreviated PHEV.
