Audi Q5 55 TFSI® e Plug-In Hybrid

What does the term hybrid powertrain mean and what exactly is a plug-in hybrid?

Traditionally, a powertrain is referred to as a hybrid system whenever two propulsion technologies - in other words, an IC engine and a motor and the respective energy storage system - are combined. A typical characteristic of hybrids combining an IC engine and an electric motor is that the electric motor can either be used as the sole, locally emission-free traction motor or assist the IC engine with additional boost capacity. The electric traction motor also serves as a generator for recuperation, converting kinetic energy into electrical energy and storing it in a lithium-ion battery. Today, the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) has become established as the most commonly used form of hybrid electric vehicle (HEV): The battery, in this case, can be charged externally, at a charging station or power outlet. The energy capacities of the batteries of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles have increased accordingly, which benefits customers by extending the car's electrical range.
