How Do Plug-In Hybrids Work?

These modes can be toggled in the vehicle. A plug-in hybrid's electric battery can replenish itself over time with the use of regenerative braking as a traditional hybrid would. But, you also have the benefit of being able to plug it into a standard household electrical outlet. For even more charging power, you can add an in-home setup too with specialized equipment to get your vehicle powered up. For many, the electric range can provide them with lots of driving especially on short trips around Grand Rapids.

Know Your Charging Options
ÂWhen you own a plug-in hybrid, you should know some basics like your charging options, and what type of care your vehicle will need especially with the battery. First up, is knowing your charging options.
- Level 1 chargers can be used for plug-in hybrids with a standard household outlet, and give you 2 to 5 miles of range per hour, good for long-term overnight or all-day charging
- Level 2 chargers can charge up to 10-20 miles of range per hour, and have to be installed professionally by an electrician. These are good for plug-in hybrids, but most used by EV owners
- Level 3 fast chargers are usually found in public areas, and provide 60-80 miles in 20 minutes. With a plug-in they can be quick options when you're on the go and want a full electric reserve
Another thing to know is battery life. Hybrid batteries generally last 100,000 to 200,000 miles as electric motors, and you have warranty coverage on this as well, meaning you can ride with confidence in your plug-in hybrid.
