Hybrid vs. EV—What’s the Difference?

A hybrid vehicle combines a traditional internal combustion engine with an electric motor, offering improved fuel efficiency without the need for external charging. Lexus hybrids use regenerative braking and seamless energy transitions to maximize performance and efficiency.

There are two main types of hybrids—hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), which do not require plugging in and automatically switch between gas and electric power, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVS), which offer a larger battery that can be charged externally, allowing for short electric-only driving ranges before switching to gasoline power.

Electric vehicles (EVs) run solely on battery power, eliminating the need for gasoline altogether. These vehicles produce zero emissions and require charging at home or at a public charging station. Lexus EVs deliver an exhilarating driving experience with near-instant torque and innovative technology.
