Update on some of the most common types of hybrid arrangements in personal cars
I know the following paragraphs are based on information from wikipedia, but I read through quite a few scientific papers and couldn't find one that anybody woud understand. Still, I tried to convert the scientific "language" into something anyone could "decipher". To be honest, I couldn't do it as good as wikipedia. I thought that giving a worse explanation than the one given on the first side that google would come up with is unacceptable. Therefore, my explanation is based on the research I did using scientific papers as a source for rewriting the stuff I found on wikipedia.
Parallel hybrid
In a parallel hybrid vehicle, the single electric motor and the internal combustion engine are installed so that they can power the vehicle either individually or together. In contrast to the power split configuration typically only one electric motor is installed.Modern versions have a second electric motor/generatorconnected to the wheels for a faster transmission.
Mild parallel hybrid
These types use a generally compact electric motor
to
provide auto-stop/start features and to provide extra power assist during
the acceleration, and to generate on the deceleration phase. Just a hybrid in
name: sporty cars , to be sold as „hybrids“
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV)
Another
subtype of hybrid vehicles is the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). It is
basically a Hybrid with increased energy storage capacity. Which enables people
to drive in an „all-electric mode“ before switching to the internal combustion
engine when the battery runs low.
