Electric Vehicles

Which type of electric vehicle operates solely on electric power without a gasoline engine?

• HEV
• PHEV
• BEV
• FCEV

Which of the following vehicles requires a charging plug to recharge its battery, but can also use gasoline?

• BEV
• HEV
• PHEV
• FCEV

In a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), the primary power source is:

• Battery only
• Internal combustion engine only
• Both battery and internal combustion engine, working alternately
• Solar energy

Which type of electric vehicle has zero tailpipe emissions?

• HEV
• PHEV
• BEV
• Diesel-powered vehicles

A Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) differs from a regular Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) because:

• It uses a larger battery and can be plugged in to charge.
• It has no internal combustion engine.
• It can only use electric power.
• It does not require any fuel

Which type of vehicle typically has a shorter electric-only range, HEV or PHEV?

• HEV
• PHEV
• Both have the same range
• None of the above

A BEV is typically charged by:

• A standard fuel pump
• An electric charging station
• Solar panels only
• Hydrogen fuel cells

Which of the following statements is true about PHEVs?

• They only operate on battery power.
• They require both a charging plug and gasoline.
• They do not produce any emissions.
• They have a longer electric-only range than BEVs.

Which of the following electric vehicles most commonly utilizes regenerative braking to recharge the battery?

• HEV
• PHEV
• BEV
• Mild hybrid

What is the main purpose of regenerative braking in electric vehicles?

• To reduce the wear on brakes
• To generate extra fuel
• To convert kinetic energy into electrical energy, recharging the battery
• To increase acceleration speed
