Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are vehicles that are powered by an electric motor and battery, and can be plugged into an electric power source to recharge. PEVs are becoming increasingly popular in the United States, as they offer a more efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. PEVs are available in a variety of models, from small commuter cars to large SUVs, and can be powered by either a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) or a battery electric vehicle (BEV).
