Types of EVs

Electric vehicles (EVs) can also be called zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs). A ZEV is a vehicle that has the potential to produce no tailpipe emissions. They can still have a conventional internal combustion engine but must also be able to operate without using it.

These categories are different members of the EV family:

BEV – Battery-electric vehiclePowered 100% by electric batteries
PHEV – Plug-in hybrid electric vehicleHas an electric motor as well as a gasoline engine
ER-EV – Extended-range electric vehicleHas an electric motor and a battery that is recharged by a combination of electricity and gas
FCEV – Fuel-cell electric vehicle100% powered by hydrogen

Regular hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) that do not plug-in are not considered ZEVs or EVs.
