Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) have two power sources, the engine and the electric motor, which can work separately or simultaneously to provide power. In addition, the battery of a PHEV can be charged externally, which means that users can charge the vehicle at home or at a public charging station.
Home charging speed
When charging a PHEV at home using a portable charger, it can usually take about 7 hours to fully charge. This charger needs to be plugged into a socket connected to the ground wire to charge properly. If a charging station is used, the charging speed may be twice as fast as charging at home.
Public charging station charging speed
When charging at a public charging station, the charging speed will vary depending on the power of the charging station. Generally speaking, fast charging can fully charge the battery in 2 to 3 hours, while slow charging takes 6 to 12 hours.
The charging speed of a PHEV is affected by many factors, including the charging equipment used, the charging current, and the characteristics of the battery. When choosing a charging method, users should decide on the most suitable charging solution based on their needs and available resources.
