and reduces brake wear. Hybrid electric vehicles Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) are powered by a combination of electricity and either petrol or diesel. The electricity is used only as an intermediate energy storage medium to improve the overall efficiency of the vehicle. They therefore DO NOT need to be plugged in to recharge the battery.
