The EV Glossary of MileOne Autogroup

The MileOne Autogroup family of dealerships offer a terrific selection of electric vehicles (EVs). And whether you're interested in a plug-in hybrid Toyota sedan or a Mercedes-Benz EV, we know you'll find this EV glossary useful.  

Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV): a vehicle that's completely powered by an electric motor + battery. 

Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV): A ZEV is any vehicle that doesn't emit harmful tailpipe pollutants such as soot, ozone, lead, and nitrogen oxides - all of which are harmful to humans and the environment. Not only are ZEVs highly efficient, but they also have far fewer parts than a traditional gas-powered car, making them much less expensive to maintain with MileOne service. 

Extended-Range Electric Vehicle (EREV): an EREV integrates an auxiliary power unit that helps to extend the vehicle's driving range beyond that of a "standard" EV. If you often drive long distances, an EREV is a great choice for MileOne financing.  

Charging: the act of recharging an empty electric car's battery with electricity so that it can continue running. 

Charging station: a unit that safely supplies electric energy for recharging an EV. The new EV cars at MileOne can be charged with a charging station installed at home or at a local charging station, typically found in commercial and retail areas.  

DC fast charging: this is the fastest way to charge an EV. DC fast charging can fully replenish an average electric car's battery in just 30 - 40 minutes, thanks to a high electrical output ranging from 50kW - 120kw. 

Regenerative braking: a system that helps extend an EV's range while also slowing the car in a similar fashion to traditional engine braking. While the car is slowing down, the regenerative braking system converts kinetic energy into an electrical charge that boosts the battery's power.
