When hybrids appeared most used nickel-metal-hydride batteries This question was such a big roadblock for increasing sales that Toyota began an advertising campaign for the Prius that clearly emphasized that plugging in was not necessary. But it needs to be plugged in to an electrical outlet to maintain the electric-only range.

In full-hybrid vehicles, the stored energy is also used for a certain range of electric driving. At high voltages, lead-based batteries are so far limited by their more modest recharge and discharge power and capacity turnover. Other battery technologies (nickel-metal hydride, lead-based etc.)

The Robust Affordable Next Generation EV-Storage (RANGE) program’s goal is to enable a 3X increase in electric vehicle range (from ~80 to ~240 miles per charge) with a simultaneous price reduction of > 1/3 (to ~ $30,000). The second objective of RANGE is to fund the development of multifunctional energy storage systems.

All hybrid, plug-in hybrid and full electric vehicles equipped with high-voltage, advanced rechargeable battery systems also utilize a second electrical system on 12V level for controls, comfort features, redundancy and safety features. In full-hybrid vehicles, the stored energy is also used for a certain range of electric driving.
