Types of Electric/Hybrid Vehicles Explained Volvo offers both plug-in hybrid and fully-electric models as part of their range.

All Electric All electric vehicles (EVs) do not have an internal combustion engine. Instead, a battery pack and an electric motor provide power, with most EVs offering a range of between 100-300 miles. They must be connected to an electrical power supply to charge.

Plug-in Hybrid With plug-in hybrids, an electric motor and battery pack work in harmony with a traditional engine to deliver the most economical performance possible. Plug-in hybrids must be plugged into an electrical power source to charge the battery and can deliver all-electric power over short distances.
