This limited power supply is not designed to support all-electric driving, and the smaller battery delivers fewer of the efficiency benefits of a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle.Ī mild hybrid electric vehicle (MHEV) is powered by a combustion engine supported by a 48V electric motor integrated into the drivetrain. In addition, the driver also has the option of using the combustion engine in tandem with the electric motor or independently.Ī hybrid vehicle, by contrast, cannot be charged from an external power source – they rely on energy generated from gasoline or regenerative braking. The batteries in plug-in hybrids can be charged using a standard 120V household outlet, or a more powerful 240V outlet found at a public charging station or in the available BMW i Wallbox. The larger battery size enables plug-in hybrids to operate in all-electric mode without engaging the combustion engine within a certain range and speed. A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle carries a larger battery than hybrid vehicles that cannot be plugged in.
