All PHEVs can charge at an EVgo L2 charger, but most PHEVs are not capable of supporting fast charging. Once the all-electric range is depleted, PHEVs act as regular hybrids, and can travel several hundred miles on a tank of gasoline. It pairs a 67kW/304Nm electric motor with a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine for a combined output of. The Sorento PHEV is a standout, offering both seven seats and up to 68km of fully electric driving range. While regular hybrids can (at low speed) travel 1-2 miles before the gasoline engine turns on, PHEVs can go anywhere from 10-40 miles before their gas engines provide assistance. The Sorento PHEV is one of few hybrid options with seven seats. They differ from regular hybrids by having a much larger battery, and being able to plug into the grid to recharge. In series plug-in hybrids, or extended-range electric vehicles, only the electric motor turns the wheels and the gasoline engine generates electricity. Like regular hybrids, they can recharge their battery through regenerative braking. Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles, or PHEVs, have both an engine and electric motor to drive the car.
