Types of Electric/Hybrid Vehicles Explained.

Everything you wanted to know about hybrid, fully electric and fuel cell cars.

Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) A plug-in hybrid (PHEV) blends electric efficiency with petrol power, enabling short-distance driving on electric power alone, perfect for city commutes and low-emission zones.

While most PHEVs require regular charging to maximise their electric range, Jaecoo’s Super Hybrid System (SHS) goes further. Unlike standard PHEVs, SHS technology prevents the battery from fully depleting, maintaining charge levels for consistent performance and reduced fuel reliance. It seamlessly switches between power sources for maximum efficiency on every journey.

Introducing Jaecoo’s Super Hybrid System (SHS)

The Jaecoo 7 SHS is the first model in the UK to feature Jaecoo’s cutting-edge hybrid technology, combining the intelligence of a self-charging hybrid with the smooth, responsive drive of an EV.

The Super Hybrid System combines a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine, a hybrid transmission, and an 18.3kWh battery, delivering a zero-emission range of up to 56 miles and an impressive 403mpg combined fuel efficiency.

Unlike conventional plug-in hybrid systems, the SHS ensures the battery never fully depletes, keeping it charged for improved efficiency and reduced reliance on fuel. This makes it a practical choice for drivers who want the flexibility of petrol power for longer trips while benefiting from electric efficiency in urban and low-emission zones.

The Jaecoo’s SHS technology delivers more than just efficiency

  • Instant torque & seamless acceleration: 204PS of combined power for effortless performance
  • Quiet, smooth driving: perfect for both city commutes and long motorway journeys
  • Adaptive hybrid technology: automatically optimises power sources for maximum efficiency

What is the range of an electric car?

Close

The range of an electric vehicle (EV) depends on the model and battery capacity and whether the car is fully electric or hybrid. Many modern EVs now offer over 350 miles on a single charge, with some premium models exceeding 300 miles. Factors such as driving style, terrain, and weather conditions can affect range, but regenerative braking technology helps maximise efficiency by recovering energy during deceleration.

What is the range of a Jaecoo SHS plug-in hybrid?

Close

The Jaecoo 7 SHS offers an electric-only range of up to 56 miles, making it ideal for city driving and daily commutes without using petrol. For longer journeys, the 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine seamlessly takes over, extending the total range significantly while maintaining an impressive 403mpg combined fuel efficiency.

Do I need to pay road tax for an electric car or plug-in hybrid?

Close

Fully electric vehicles remain road tax exempt until April 2025, although a charge does apply to cars costing over £40,000.​ Plug-in hybrids like the Jaecoo 7 SHS benefit from reduced road tax and potential government incentives.

How do I charge an electric car?

Close

Charging a Jaecoo SHS plug-in hybrid is straightforward and designed for convenience. At home, a dedicated wall box allows for efficient overnight charging, ensuring the vehicle is always ready for the day ahead. Businesses can benefit from government-backed grants to install workplace charging points, making it easier to integrate electric vehicles into daily operations. For those on the move, the UK has an extensive network of public charging stations, including fast and rapid chargers, allowing for quick top-ups whenever needed. Unlike conventional plug-in hybrids, Jaecoo’s SHS system ensures the battery never fully depletes, maintaining efficiency and reliability at all times.

How long does it take to charge an electric car?

Close

The time required to charge an electric vehicle depends on the charger type and power output. A 7kW home or workplace charger typically takes between 2.5 to 3 hours for a full charge, making overnight or workday charging a convenient option. Public 22kW fast chargers can provide a significant top-up in around 1 hour, while rapid DC chargers (50kW+) can boost battery levels much faster, often reaching 80% in under 30 minutes. Many electric vehicles also utilise regenerative braking, which helps recover energy while driving, improving efficiency and reducing the frequency of charging stops.
