PLUG-IN HYBRID

A plug-in hybrid car or Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) is a car that employs two motors to propel itself: an internal combustion engine (petrol or Diesel), and an electric motor with a rechargeable battery that can be charged at an electric point.

 

 

The plug-in hybrid works in three ways depending on the available range or the driver's needs: in electric-only mode, in hybrid mode with both motors, or in combustion engine mode.

DS 4

The compact hatchback with exceptional comfort

 

Up to 38 mi of WLTP combined cycle range (i) The stated fuel consumption, CO₂ emissions and indicated range are in line with the WLTP test procedure, on the basis of which new vehicles have been approved since 1st September 2018. This WLTP procedure replaces the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), which was the test procedure used previously. As the test conditions are more realistic, the fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions measured according to the WLTP procedure are, in many cases, higher than those measured according to the NEDC procedure. Fuel consumption, CO₂ emissions and range values may vary depending on actual conditions of use and various factors such as: charging frequency, driving style, speed, specific equipment, options, types of tyre, outside temperature and temperature inside the car. Please contact your retailer for more information. More details here

CAN I USE A REGULAR ELECTRIC SOCKET TO CHARGE A DS PLUG-IN HYBRID CAR?

A standard electric socket is enough to charge your DS plug-in hybrid vehicle. However, the charging time may vary depending on the charging capacity of its battery and the power of the plug. To speed up charging, you can choose a specially upgraded domestic socket, DS Wallbox or public charging points.

WHAT IS THE WARRANTY ON DS PLUG-IN HYBRID CARS?

DS Automobiles offers a full warranty for its plug-in hybrid cars, namely a 3-year/60,000 mi warranty for the vehicl and an 8-year/100,000 mi warranty for the traction battery.

IS MAINTAINING PLUG-IN HYBRID CARS DIFFERENT TO COMBUSTION ENGINES?

Usually, the maintenance of a hybrid car is simpler and less frequent than for a combustion engine car because it has fewer moving parts. However, regular maintenance is required for its engine, brakes, tyres, and some electrical components that require inspection by certified technicians.

ARE PLUG-IN HYBRID CARS ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY?

Plug-in hybrid cars are generally more environmentally friendly than combustion cars because they produce fewer CO₂ emissions and consume less fuel thanks to their electric motor. However, their environmental impact depends on the source of electricity used for charging and driving habits.

CAN I DRIVE A PLUG-IN HYBRID CAR OVER LONG DISTANCES?

A plug-in hybrid car is perfectly suited for long-distance journeys. Once the electric range is exhausted, the internal combustion engine takes over. This allows you to continue driving without having to charge your battery.
