The plug-in hybrid system is a system excellent in both econom-
ical efficiency of electric vehicles and practicality of hybrid vehi-
cles.
● EV driving can be performed using electricity charged from an
external power source.
*
●If the amount of electricity remaining in the hybrid battery (t raction
battery) becomes low, the vehicle is automatically controlled i n
such a way that it can be driven as a hybrid vehicle through the
joint use of the gasoline engine.
*: The EV driving range will vary in accordance with conditions s uch as
vehicle speed, the amount of charge remaining in the hybrid bat tery
(traction battery) and the usage of the air conditioning system. The gaso-
line engine may also be used simultaneously in accordance with driving
conditions.
