What is difference in EV, PHEV, HEV and ICE?
EV are Electric Vehicles, think Tesla in US
EV uses only electricity from the battery as its power source without using fossil fuels
PHEVs are Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle, think BMW X5 PHEV
PHEV uses both internal-combustion engine and electric motor, with the battery that can be charged by external power
HEVs are Hybrid Electric Vehicle, think Toyota Prius
Like PHEV, it uses both fossil fuel engine and electric motor,
But the major difference is that HEV's battery does not need to be charged from external power
ICE is Internal Combustion Engines vehicles
ICE vehicles ignite and combust fuel within an internal combustion engine
