Plug-in electric vehicles are road vehicles using plug-in technology to connect to a source of electricity. These typically include battery-electric vehicles, which run exclusively on electricity, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, which can be charged using electric vehicle supply equipments but have traditional fuel reserves (petrol and diesel). Road vehicles would be expected to significantly use the public highway and to be used as a mode of transport.
