Switching to a hybrid vehicle, like the Honda Insight, for example, to save gas on your Westbrook commute can be a wise choice. But if you’re thinking about making the switch, you’re probably curious about charging a hybrid car battery. Does every hybrid vehicle need to be plugged in? How long does it take to charge one? We’re happy to answer your questions, so we’ve put together the guide below on how to charge a hybrid car battery.
First things first – not all hybrid vehicles are the same. We find that many of our New London customers are not aware that this type of electric vehicle comes in two varieties: hybrid and plug-in hybrid. As their names suggest, plug-in hybrids require being plugged into an outlet to charge the battery; hybrid vehicles do not. That’s because the battery in a hybrid vehicle is charged by the gas engine, which is always running at the same time as the electric motor. Plug-in hybrids, however, have bigger battery packs and can run solely on the electric motor for short periods of time.
So, what if your car is a plug-in hybrid? How does charging a hybrid car battery work, then? There are three different methods of charging, each taking a different length of time to complete a charge.
