WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HYBRID AND A PLUG-IN HYBRID (PHEV)?

HYBRID

  • A vehicle is a hybrid if it’s 100% gasoline-fueled but doesn’t rely solely on its gasoline engine for propulsion (defined as the action of driving or pushing forward). Hybrids have electric motors that sometimes power the car in order to delay the gasoline engine and save fuel. At times, both systems work together for added power. Electric motors function as generators when you press the brake.
  • Hybrids get energy at the same time from a gasoline engine and an electric motor. The engine and motor work together to power the car. The engine also uses gasoline to help recharge the battery which powers the electric motor.
  • Hybrids use gasoline engines to keep batteries charged as you drive. There is no need to plug them in.

PLUG-IN HYBRID (PHEV)

  • PHEV’s use a gasoline engine and an electric motor, but in different ways. A plug-in hybrid primarily uses its electric motor, which is powered by the battery. A plug-in hybrid won’t use gas until the battery runs out of power. A plug-in hybrid uses its engine as a backup plan.
  • PHEV’s can be plugged into a 120-volt household outlet or a 240-volt charging unit (or wall charger). A plug in-hybrid can be driven on pure electric power without burning any fuel.
  • A PHEV has a much larger battery and a means to recharge it using an external power source. A PHEV acts like an electric vehicle with the gasoline engine not being used when it’s battery has to charge. The engine comes on when the battery runs down which allows the vehicle to continue as a regular gasoline hybrid. It also uses regenerative braking to save fuel.

CHARGING YOUR MINI: HOW AND WHERE?

You can charge your MINI Electric at home with the Level 1 charging cord that comes standard with your MINI Electric – you just need a standard three-prong outlet. If you find yourself needing to recharge while you’re out, you can use one of the 20,000+ public charging stations available, with more being added every day. You can use your MINI app or the in-car navigation system to locate all the public charging stations available to you while you’re on the road, too. There are also a variety of third-party apps that may be helpful in locating nearby charging.

Your MINI comes with a level one charging cord that does not require any special equipment, just a standard three-prong outlet. For faster charging, an EVSE or wallbox can deliver a faster charge at your home or workplace. On the road, public charging can be utilized.

Charging your MINI Electric will typically cost about 1/3 of what it would cost for an equivalent gasoline model. Since all drivers will have different driving experiences, it is easy to calculate your average cost by multiplying your cost of electricity per kWh by the amount you are charging in kW.

If you buy a new MINI without having the a wallbox yet, have no fear. You can simply plug in your new MINI to your wall outlet. The standard home charging cable with a household connector is primarily an auxiliary cable.

*Comes standard with every electric MINI purchase. No additional equipment needed.

New to charging your car? Install a MINI Wallbox in your home for fast charging between daily drives. With the MINI Wallbox, you can fully charge the battery of your MINI Electric or plug-in hybrid three times faster than with the Occasional Use Cable.

*Purchase separately. Purchase a MINI Wallbox Essential here. Requires hardwired installation and may require electrical upgrades depending on your electrical panel capacity.

There may be times where you want to charge your MINI while you’re on the go. Finding public charging stations is easy! You can simply use the MINI Charging app found on the Apple Store and Google Play, Google Maps or Apple Maps to find the nearest charging facility to you and you can even see pricing and the availability of stations, so that you’re not stuck waiting to charge.

*For public charging within Chicagoland, we’ve seen average prices of $1-$4 for about 2 hours of charging time. However, it depends on the individual unit’s owner to determine pricing.
