LINCOLN ELECTRIC VEHICLE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1) I know EV means "Electric Vehicle", but what do PHEV, HEV, BEV, ZEV and ICE mean?

PHEV stands for Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle. PHEVs suit those transitioning from traditional gas and diesel cars but not fully ready for an electric vehicle.

HEV stands for Hybrid Electric Vehicle. Hybrids include both a gas engine and a battery but don't need plugging in for charging. HEV drivers often hear the gas engine running, with the battery replenishing through regenerative braking.

BEV stands for Battery Electric Vehicle. BEVs rely solely on battery power and operate as 100% electric vehicles.

ZEV stands for Zero Emission Vehicle. Any vehicle emitting no harmful pollutants from its exhaust pipe is considered a ZEV. BEVs exemplify ZEVs by operating entirely without emissions.

ICE stands for Internal Combustion Engine. These are conventional gas-powered vehicles.

2) Are Lincoln electric vehicles more expensive than gas engine vehicles?
