Electrified vehicles are becoming a more appealing option for many New Zealand drivers thanks to improved efficiency, lower day-to-day running costs, reduced fuel use and a growing range of models across different brands and vehicle types. For some buyers, the appeal is lower servicing and energy costs. For others, it is the ability to reduce petrol use without sacrificing flexibility or changing the way they go about everyday driving.
What is the difference between EV, Hybrid and PHEV?
EV (Electric Vehicle)
A fully electric vehicle runs entirely on battery power and does not use petrol or diesel. It needs to be charged either at home or at public charging stations.
Why people choose an EV: lower running costs, quiet and smooth driving, and reduced servicing needs.
Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV)
A plug-in hybrid combines a petrol engine with a battery that can be charged externally. For many drivers, shorter daily trips can often be done mainly on electric power, while the petrol engine is there for longer journeys.
Why people choose a PHEV: electric driving for everyday use, with petrol backup for extra flexibility.
Hybrid (HEV)
A self-charging hybrid uses both a petrol engine and an electric motor, but it does not need to be plugged in. The battery charges automatically through normal driving and braking.
Why people choose a hybrid: improved fuel efficiency without changing the way they drive or needing a home charger.
