Electric motoring explained There are the types of electric motor car Alfa Romeo can offer...

Plug-in hybrid A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) features a combustion engine, an electric motor and a battery. While not as efficient as an all-electric car, a PHEV is nonetheless much more affordable to run than a regular automobile, and it produces significantly fewer emissions. A PHEV’s battery requires manual charging, and it enables an electric range of up to 42 miles (Tonale PHEV models).

Hybrid Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) represent a bridge between a plug-in hybrid and a regular car. While they feature a similar powertrain to an PHEV, the motor’s role is merely to assist the combustion engine, facilitating instant torque, for example. HEVs typically offer greater efficiency and produce fewer emissions than their combustion-engined equivalents.
