Having considerably smaller battery packs than purely electric vehicles is what allows many PHEVs to get by without 240-volt charging they simply require less power and can charge overnight. Like an electric car, plug-in hybrid vehicles can be charged using any household 120-volt outlet for power, but charging time is much faster using a 240-volt charger either at home or the type found at some rest areas, parking garages or places of employment. Plug-in hybrids - also known as plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, or PHEVs - generally have a larger and more powerful battery than their plug-free hybrid counterparts, enabling them to operate entirely on electrical power like a purely electric vehicle that has no gas engine.
