Plug-in hybrid system features
The plug-in hybrid system is a system excellent in both eco-
nomical efficiency of electric vehicles and practicality of
hybrid vehicles.
EV driving can be performed using electricity charged from an
external power source.
*
If the amount of electricity remaining in the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) becomes low, the vehicle is automatically controlled
in such a way that it can be driven as a hybrid vehicle through
the joint use of the gasoline engine.
*
: The EV driving range will vary in accordance with conditions such as
vehicle speed, the amount of charge remaining in the hybrid battery
(traction battery) and the usage of the air conditioning system. The gas-
oline engine may also be used simultaneously in accordance with driv-
ing conditions.
