Types of Electric Vehicles in Australia

Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV)

Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV’s) are purely electric vehicles that are equipped exclusively with an electric motor. These e-cars draw the energy they need to drive them from a battery in the vehicle. The battery is charged via the electricity grid and can store recovered braking energy. This website is aimed at informing you about BEV’s in Australia.

Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV)

The battery of the Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV’s) are charged by the internal combustion engine. External charging is not possible. Only when the battery is sufficiently charged, electric driving is possible. Although only a few kilometers can be driven electrically with an HEV, the energy-intensive starting can be carried out by the electric motor. HEV have a higher weight due to the two engines.

Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV)

A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) also uses two motors. The difference, however, is that PHEVs compared to HEV can be charged externally via the power grid. In addition, in contrast to HEV, a PHEV has a larger battery with which can usually drive at least 50 km purely electrically; this appears to be sufficient for city traffic.
