BATTERY ELECTRIC VEHICLE A battery electric vehicle is fueled by electricity, replacing gasoline, diesel and other types of combustible fuels. It’s a vehicle that plugs into a power source to recharge its battery. Examples: Nissan LEAF and Mitsubishi i-MiEV PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE A hybrid electric vehicle uses a small battery to recoup braking energy for reuse during acceleration. A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle has a much larger battery that can be recharged from a wall outlet or charging station.
