Powered by both electricity and gas. Battery-only travel

is designed for short to medium distances.

PHEVs on average travel between 10 and 100 miles on electricity

before needing to plug in. Their gas tanks extend total range between 300 and 600 miles. Some designs allow drivers to choose when to

use electricity or gas.

Standard home outlets

use the adapter cable that comes

with the car, featuring a standard

three-prong plug for a wall outlet

and plug for your car. This adds

a few miles of range for every

hour plugged in.

Rapid home charger requires an initial purchase and

installation of the charger cable.

Plug the cable directly into your

vehicle. This may be a good option

if you drive many miles a day, as

vehicles get 10-25 miles of range

for every hour plugged in.

Public chargerslevels 2 and 3, offer more rapid

charging times. (Most public

charging stations in Kentucky are

Level 2 chargers.) They enable

drivers to make longer trips or

recharge while they shop or dine.

BEVs can travel further on electricity but their total range is limited by battery size. Range is increasing, with some models

promising more than 200 miles on a single charge.

Powered by an electric motor only with battery

travel designed for medium to long distances.
