The electric motor gets its electric power from a high-voltage battery pack which is recharged by plugging into standard 220-volt outlet．
举一反三
- A plug-in hybrid, also called plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), has a large battery pack that can be recharged directly from household electricity or a charging pile in public place by plugging into an electric outlet (see Fig.8-5) ．
- Drive battery: is a high-output battery that stores electricity generated from regenerative braking and provides additional electric power to the electric motor;
- When the engine, generator and battery work together to supply right amount of electric power to the electric motor, or the engine and the generator charge the battery pack, it operates in series mode．
- It uses a large battery pack to store the electricity that powers the electric motor to move the car．
- Nowadays, the electric motor, generator and battery pack all work together in a car on behalf of the hybrid concept．
