What is a plug-in hybrid and how does it work?

What is a plug-in hybrid and how does it work?

Plug-in hybrid cars, also known as PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles), are a cross between a combustion engine and an electric battery. This means you have the option to drive fully electric on shorter trips in to the city, or use the petrol or diesel engine for longer journeys. As the name suggests, you have to plug your car in to a source of electricity in order to use the electric drive, but if you run out of range you can simply switch to the combustion engine and recharge when it’s next convenient for you. Another noticeable difference in plug-in hybrid cars is the responsiveness - the electric motor boosts the combustion engine when you accelerate for a more refined drive.

      Plug-in hybrid driving modes.

      EQ Power driving modes

      You can achieve totally different driving dynamics in your Plug-in hybrid car by using the different DYNAMIC SELECT driving modes. For example, HYBRID is the default mode which prioritises the use of the electric motor and then, if additional power is required or the battery runs out, it will utilise the combustion engine. Another example is E-CHARGE / BATTERY LEVEL which maintains the state of charge in your battery for when you need it, for example if the last part of your journey is in a city.

      Pre-entry Climate Control.

      Pre-entry Climate Control

      Pre-entry Climate Control allows you to set the temperature in your car whilst it’s charging. This helps to save electric range when you set off by using the electricity from the charge point. Whether you want to cool down or heat up your car, you can configure this using your Mercedes me app or via the MBUX head unit in the car. You can even set specific time and dates for even more convenience.

      Mild hybrid drive

      Mercedes-Benz mild hybrid drive cars.

      Mild hybrid drive refers to our Mercedes-Benz mild hybrid drive range of cars. Unlike a plug-in hybrid, the mild hybrid drive system uses the electric motor and combustion engine in parallel. This means that the electric motor doesn’t operate independently from the combustion engine, but supports it by smoothing the torque curve, creating efficiency and adding more power when needed. Another key difference to our range of plug-in hybrid models is that there is no need to plug-in to recharge, this is done automatically through energy recuperation.
