hello guys and welcome back to a new video today i will explain you the difference between mild
hybrid hybrid and plug-in hybrid so at the end of this video you will know everything about these
free versions i don't know if you know this but at the moment auto industry it's in a transition
period a transition that one to eliminate petrol and diesel as a source of energy for cars in the
last years automakers make very big efforts and invest millions of dollars to lower the
co2 emission for their cars they also build new factory and facilities to create new platforms
for electric cars the reason why they are in such a rush is because the government rise the
taxes for every co2 gram that the car emit what this mean that simply mean manufacturer will pay
zero taxes if the car will emit zero co2 the less co2 emission the less taxes for manufacturers now
that we know the reason why we see more and more hybrid cars let's talk about all three versions
first of all we go to the mild hybrid system the car that are powered with mild hybrid system
have an internal combustion engine diesel or petrol and an electric motor and a separate
special battery now the difference is that mild hybrid system use a much smaller electric motor
it's more like a starter and also a smaller battery between 0.1 and 0.8 kilowatt hour the
electric motor and the battery cannot power itself the car this is something to keep in mind on the
mild hybrid cars without the combustion engine the car will not move so the only reason the system is
there is to help the internal combustion during acceleration and coasting because the combustion
engine will be assisted at acceleration you will have also a smoother ride and some extra torque
the engine can sometimes switch off in order to save fuel and reduce co2 emission the main
benefit and purpose of the system are to reduce co2 emission and save more fuel also it will give
the car extra power but in a very small amount maximum five percent now the advantages of the
mild hybrid system are lower emission reduce running cost smoother ride and also lower purchase
cost the disadvantages are more mechanical piece that need to be changed in case of failure now
let's go to the second one hybrid system now that we know what is mild hybrid system let's go to the
hybrid system we start by telling you that hybrid system use a bigger battery than the mild hybrid
system and also a much bigger motor or motors yes you hear well motors because some hybrid cars can
have even two electric motors combined with the internal combustion engine also hybrid cars can
be powered only by electric motors and some of them can reach speed of 130 kilometer only
in electric mode here depend on the battery charging status road condition and other elements
because of the bigger battery and bigger electric motor the car will have more horsepower and torque
also will experience more often the smooth and silent ride which you can find all the
time in electric cars not only the fuel saving and fewer co2 emission are an advantages but
also the internal combustion engine and electric motor will work together to give you the maximum
power something to remember about hybrid system is that the hybrid car cannot be charged they will
charge automatically when the car will break go downhill or also it will charge by the combustion
engine when the car is running most of the car manufacturers will offer in the cars different
driving modes depending on your preference and road condition the hybrid system advantages
lowers your to emission smooth and silent ride when in electric mode better fuel economy lower
taxes and of course it has some disadvantages like bigger price more mechanical piece that need to be
changed in case of failure the same as the mild hybrid system now let's go to the third one my
favorite it's plug-in hybrid system plug-in hybrid cars have a much bigger battery usually between 13
and 18 kilowatt hour great part is that you can charge the car to a cable so not only that the
battery will be recharged as you drive like the hybrid system but you can also plug in the cable
in the car and charge it at home or at the fast public charging station when it comes
to charging speed all plug-in hybrid cars can be charged at a normal wall socket that we have all
in our homes of course the charging time will be much longer than on a special wall box or a public
fast charging station but it's an option in a plug-in hybrid cars you will also have an electric
only range that varies between 25 and 75 kilometer depend on the battery size and the car model the
great part is that you can have both worlds in the single car you will have a combustion engine and
electric motor that give you the possibility to feel both experience in the city you can drive 100
electric and on the highway as at long trips you can use the combustion engine so that's a great
advantages in my opinion also plug-in hybrid cars will give you a better total range than electric
cars or classic ic cars another big advantages is that plug-in hybrid will benefit from better
tax incentives so you will pay fewer yearly taxes depending on which country you are you
can benefit from big governmental discount when you are buying the car for the first time plug-in
hybrid advantages of course the same as the other one lower co2 emission possibility to charge the
car with a cable smooth and silent ride when in electric mode better fuel economy lower taxes
hold the value in time better and also it has some disadvantage of course bigger price more
mechanical piece that need to be changed in case of failure and if you drive with an empty battery
the car weight will make the combustion engine to work more so in conclusion to consume more
fuel so now that you know the difference between all free version you can make a better decision
when you will buy your next car i hope the video was helpful and if you have question guys just
