Well, that\u2019s okay because you aren\u2019t alone! It\u2019s so easy to get lost by automotive jargon used in news posts or when browsing for a new car, but car buying should be simple! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is why we have created a guide on all the most common terminology, acronyms and abbreviations you may find yourself coming across. Don\u2019t get scared off by the fancy words, read the guide about what the Electric and Hybrid Car jargon means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">A<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Alternative Fuel Vehicle<\/strong>: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This term is used for a vehicle that runs on a fuel other than traditional petrol or diesel. It includes engines that don&#8217;t solely rely on petroleum such as PHEV, EV, FCEVS, but also includes HEVs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>AC\/DC<\/strong>: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This references both Alternating and Direct Currents. See our definitions of AC and DC below for specific definitions of these types of electricity flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>AC<\/strong>: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An Alternating Current is a type of electricity flow that can charge electric vehicles at slower speeds. You\u2019ll find AC on home charging wall boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">B<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV)<\/strong>: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A car that runs purely on electric power, stored in an onboard battery that is charged from mains electricity (typically at a dedicated chargepoint).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">C<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Combined Charging System (CCS)<\/strong>: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the standard for charging electric vehicles in the EU. Its layout consists of two DC pins that sit below the standard Type 2 connector plug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Chademo Plug (CHAdeMO)<\/strong>: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the name of a large, round four-pin charging plug that is only used at rapid charging stations. ChDeMo plugs are capable of Vehicle to Grid (V2G) charging but are less powerful than CSS. Many East Asian manufacturers like Nissan and Toyota use these chargers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Charging Point<\/strong>: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The name for the location where you fill up your car with electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Charging Station<\/strong>: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An element of infrastructure that safely supplies electric energy for the recharging of electric vehicles, also known as an EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Contactless Payment<\/strong>: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Available on some rapid chargers, it is possible to start and pay for your charging session with the tap of your contactless credit\/debit card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">D<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Direct Current (DC)<\/strong>: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A type of electricity flow that can charge electric vehicles at faster speeds. Electric cars have to convert AC power from the mains into DC before they can store it in the battery and this process takes extra time. DC charging stations cut out this process by providing DC power straight to the battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">E<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/electric-and-hybrid-cars\"><strong>Electric vehicle (EV)<\/strong><\/a>: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Any vehicle that uses electric motors, either in full or in part, as propulsion. Can be used as a catch-all term for BEVs and PHEVs, but often used to refer to pure electric vehicles i.e. BEVs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Extended-Range Electric Vehicle (EREV)<\/strong>:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p> Although the electric motor of a PHEV always drives the wheels, EREVs feature an auxiliary power unit, usually an internal combustion engine, that acts as a generator to recharge the battery when it runs out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">F<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fast Charging<\/strong>: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A type of charging station, typically capable of charging at higher speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV)<\/strong>: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another name for a hydrogen car.

A small battery is charged through regenerative braking that generates some electric power in combination with a combustion engine, but the car\u2019s energy originates from petrol. The electric motor can only power the car itself for short periods at low speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">G<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">H<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Home Charging<\/strong>:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Plugging your electric car in to charge while it is parked at home, typically overnight.
