This category normally is considered EV rather than hybrids because of the ICE not being connected to the wheels. They are usually called “EREVs” for Extended Range Electric Vehicles. The BMW i3 with the optional range extender of the first generation Chevrolet Volt / Opel Ampera are examples of it.
PHEVs (Plugin Hybrid-Electric Vehicles) are what they’re called when you can charge the vehicle as well, but the internal combustion engine is connected to the drivetrain rather than just the battery.
A series hybrid is something else. The BMW X1 PHEV is a series hybrid. The gas motor drives the front wheels, the electric motor drives the rear wheels.
