Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles offer a unique EV experience, and their ability to completely refuel in just a few minutes makes them more convenient than their battery-powered counterparts. The concept behind the CR-V is similar to that of a traditional PHEV, replacing gas with hydrogen.
In 2009 Raser displayed a Hummer H3 that claimed to return up to 100 miles* on a gallon of fuel (*in local daily driving) when it was outfitted with the company’s range-extender plug-in electric powertrain. Each vehicle would use the VIA plug-in powertrain which turned the existing gas engine into a range extender.
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, or PHEVs, can charge through the same 240V charging station that other EVs use. On the other hand, hybrids that don’t plug in draw their batterypower from the engine and when the battery is drained, the car simply switches to gas power. The short answer to that question is: Yes.
