With regards to the machine, this of course lowers the vehicle’s fossil fuel consumption and makes it possible to combine the benefits of combustion power (autonomy on long journeys) and those of rechargeable electric power (more environmentally-friendly motor power which costs less to run) within the same vehicle. The advantage of this solution is that it provides more electric range to the plug-in hybrid vehicle. The plug-in hybrid car (or PHEV, for “Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle”) operates according to the same principle as the hybrid car, but also features a socket for recharging the vehicle’s battery on the electric grid, as well as a larger battery than that of a standard hybrid car. What are the advantages of a plug-in hybrid car? On the Renault Clio E-TECH hybrid, which uses technology known as “full-hybrid” - in other words not rechargeable - this all-electric driving (which can cover up to 80% of city driving, for example) reduces urban fuel consumption by 40% in comparison to an equivalent combustion-powered model. This leads to a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions thanks to its ability to run in all-electric mode. The hybrid car (also shortened to HEV for “Hybrid Electric Vehicle”) is designed around a simple principle: a combustion engine (gasoline or diesel) and one or several electric motors working together.
