Electric Vehicle Definition and Terms
Electric Vehicles (EVs) includes Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) powered solely by an electric battery and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) powered by a combination of an electric motor and a gasoline engine.
The term Plug-in Electric Vehicle (PEV) is a subset of EVs and includes both PHEVs and BEVs. These terms may apply to cars, vans, all size trucks, buses, and off-road equipment like commercial lawn care products or material handling equipment.
Massachusetts Is Recharging
On average, every EV in a community delivers over $1,000 per year in local economic development benefit.*
