BEVs (Battery Electric Vehicles) are entirely electric vehicles with rechargeable batteries that do not have a gasoline engine. BEVs are zero-emission, as they emit no hazardous exhaust emissions or pollute the air in the same way that typical gasoline-powered vehicles do.

PHEVs, or Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles, have both an engine and an electric motor to power the vehicle. They can recharge their battery through regenerative braking, just like traditional hybrids. They vary from normal hybrids in that they have a considerably larger battery and can recharge by plugging into the grid. While normal hybrids can travel 1-2 miles before the gasoline engine kicks in (at moderate speeds), PHEVs may travel anywhere from 10 to 50 kilometres before the gas engine kicks in. When the all-electric range is depleted, PHEVs switch to a standard hybrid mode and can travel hundreds of miles on a single tank of gas.
Hybrid Electric Vehicle
Hybrid Electric Vehicles, or HEVs, are vehicles that are powered by both a gas engine and an electric motor. Regenerative braking, which recoups otherwise wasted energy in braking to help the gasoline engine during acceleration, provides all of the energy for the battery. This braking energy is generally wasted as heat in the brake pads and rotors of a traditional internal combustion engine car. Regular hybrids can't plug into the grid to recharge.

Mild hybrids (also known as power-assist hybrids, battery-assisted hybrid vehicles, or BAHVs) are cars that have an internal combustion engine and an electric machine (one motor/generator in a parallel hybrid configuration) that allows the engine to be turned off when the car is coasting, braking, or stopped, but quickly restart. Mild hybrids may use regenerative braking and provide some power assistance to the internal combustion engine (ICE), but they lack an electric-only propulsion mode.
