Q38 Many of the following questions ask about battery electric vehicles.

• A battery electric vehicle (BEV) is an all-electric vehicle powered by plugging into a specialized outlet and using electricity to charge a battery pack, with no gasoline engine. A Tesla Model 3 is an example of a BEV. A BEV cannot drive without being charged.
• A hybrid vehicle is a vehicle that uses gasoline and battery power, but does not plug in to charge. A hybrid’s battery is re-charged by driving the vehicle. A Toyota Prius is an example of a hybrid vehicle.
• A plug-in hybrid vehicle is a vehicle that uses gasoline and battery power that can be plugged in to charge the battery. The Chevy Bolt is an example of a plug-in hybrid vehicle.

We will also ask several questions about your knowledge of vehicles and related items. Please do not look up answers to these questions, we want to know your best guess.
