Electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining popularity as sustainable alternatives to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. Among EVs, two common types are Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs). While both offer environmentally friendly transportation solutions, there are key differences between BEVs and PHEVs that consumers should consider when choosing an electric vehicle. Let’s compare BEVs and PHEVs across several important factors:

1. Power Source:

• BEVs: Battery Electric Vehicles are solely powered by electric batteries and electric motors. They rely entirely on electricity stored in the battery for propulsion, producing zero tailpipe emissions.
• PHEVs: Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles combine an internal combustion engine with an electric motor and battery. PHEVs can run on electric power, gasoline, or a combination of both.

2. Range and Charging:

• BEVs: Battery Electric Vehicles typically have a longer all-electric range compared to PHEVs. However, the total range of a BEV is limited by the battery
