    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.
