Do You Need To Charge A Hybrid. When I need to visit the HJ office in London I run it as a hybrid which uses the battery charge to help the engine and boost fuel economy. The reason for calling them self-charging is because you dont need to plug into the mains instead the battery tops up while driving.
Drove around some in last few days. But how do they self-charge. Standard hybrids do not need to be plugged in.
Unlike a regular hybrid the electric-only range is significant.
Its the cheapest and most convenient way of charging if youve got access to off-street parking and power.

For the hybrid vehicle to keep running on electric the batteries need to recharge periodically. Most PHEV owners will not need a Level 2 charger advises Gil Tal director of the Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Research Center at the University of California Davis.
