While the Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) charges the battery via the grid with a plug, the MHEV does not have a battery that can be recharged via a plug, but is equipped with a 48V belt starter generator. In deceleration phases, the generator converts the vehicle’s kinetic energy and charges the battery with energy that would otherwise be lost.
