If we didn’t have enough hurdles to electric vehicle adoption in the US, one of the challenges that drives me absolutely bonkers is the confusing and inconsistent use of charging terminology. To scale up EV adoption we need to increase consumer awareness and understanding of the “electric refueling” process. But nobody else cares. .

It doesn’t hurt to know some of the terminology used in electric vehicles. The word “hybrid” is of Greek origin and means “having two sources” As the name implies, a hybrid car gets its power from two different sources, so it has more than one drive system: an electric motor and an internal combustion engine.
