There are many options available to drivers looking to purchase an electric vehicle. While most EVs can still be charged using a standard 120V outlet, PHEVs will need a 240V outlet in order to charge more quickly. Some PHEVs use only electricity, others use gasoline in the engine to make additional power. This hybrid type of vehicle is called a "blended mode" electric vehicle. It is important that you know the specific range of your model before you purchase one.
