How a Plug-in Hybrid works while driving
So, what actually happens when you drive a Plug-in Hybrid? 🔌⚡
With charge in the high-voltage battery, the RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid can use electric power for everyday driving. When more performance is needed, or depending on driving conditions and battery charge, the petrol engine can automatically join in.
It can also recover energy through regenerative braking as you slow down.
The best part? You don’t have to manage it all yourself the vehicle takes care of how petrol and electric power are used while you drive.
