the basics of E‑Tech plug-in hybrid technology
Plug-in hybrid vehicles have technology similar to that found on our non-plug-in hybrid models. The main difference is the possibility of taking advantage of a greater battery capacity and recharging the vehicle from an electrical outlet. Hence the name plug-in.
E-Tech plug-in hybrid, in 3 points
THE MOTORIZATION
Made up of two electric motors and a thermal engine which work together, taking turns depending on the type of road, driving style, battery charge, etc. The electronic management system automates the switch between the different motors.
UP TO 75% LESS CONSUMPTION
Plug-in hybrid vehicles are designed to reduce your fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions by up to 75% (on the WLTP cycle) compared to a thermal vehicle.
ELECTRIC ON DEMAND
OPlug-in hybrid cars recharge daily at work and at home, at public and private charging points. With their large capacity rechargeable battery, you can anticipate your recharges according to your journeys and postpone your trip to the gas station.
your daily life with E-Tech plug-in hybrid
HAS
Recharge your battery wherever you want.
When starting and at low speed, enjoy unparalleled comfort thanks to 100% electric driving. The city is yours and so are the fuel savings. For your other journeys, the electric and thermal engines take turns, ensuring you optimize your autonomy.
the consumption of an E-Tech plug‑in hybrid vehicle
With its rechargeable battery, maximize your driving time 100% electric. Plug-in hybrid vehicles consume up to 75% less fuel than thermal vehicles and up to 100% by recharging your battery daily*.
*WLTP standards
charging a plug-in hybrid vehicle
It is done simply, on an electrical outlet or terminal: public, at work and at home; there are several types of charging stations and they are very easily accessible. All you have to do is plug in your vehicle using the cable provided for this purpose.
the advantages of plug-in hybrid vehicles
They are equipped with a large capacity battery allowing them to drive up to 50 km on 100% electric power (WLTP mixed-use cycle), i.e. a real daily range of 30 to 60 km. Thus reducing your fuel consumption and your CO 2 emissions while enjoying comfortable and dynamic driving.
your questions about E-Tech plug-in hybrid technology
If it is a non-rechargeable hybrid car, the battery is charged while driving, thanks to kinetic energy and the thermal engine. The battery recharges completely autonomously during braking and deceleration phases. You can, however, act on the level of recovery to accentuate or not the phenomenon.
If it is a plug-in hybrid car, it is also possible to recharge it by connecting to the electricity network, via a public charging station, or even charging at home. The power of our vehicle chargers is 3.7 kW maximum.
The autonomy of a plug-in hybrid vehicle depends on the characteristics of the vehicle but also on the conditions of use.
The electric autonomy depends above all on the capacity of the traction battery (expressed in kWh), the greater this is, the higher the possibility of driving 100% electric. In the case of our rechargeable hybrid technology, whose battery is recharged by connecting to the mains but also while driving via the recovery of kinetic energy, 100% electric autonomy is guaranteed up to 50 km (in mixed WLTP use). ), i.e. a real range which can vary from approximately 30 to 60 km. Obviously to take full advantage of your vehicle and save fuel, it is necessary to recharge it as regularly as possible.
The total autonomy of a plug-in hybrid car is greater than that of a gasoline car, since it is possible to alternate between several energy sources. In town, when the electric motor(s) take over, there is little or no use on the combustion engine, which logically results in fuel savings. On the highway, even once the traction battery is empty, you benefit from the operation of the hybrid engine to optimize your consumption.
