	PHEVs are commonly called "grid-connected hybrids," "gas-optional hybrids" (GO-HEVs), "full hybrids," and are sometimes called PHEV-30 for instance, to denote a hybrid with a 30-mile (50 km) electric range. Compared to a HEV-0 (a non-plug-in hybrid), or BEV/PHEV-300 in the case of the 300 mile [[SEVA:tzero\|tzero]] EV with its gasoline-fueled range extending trailer. While Ford, GM, and Toyota have all used the term "Full Hybrid Technology" to describe configurations that allow electric-only operation at low speeds, they can not plug in to recharge the battery. Two other PHEV names used by a major U.S. automotive supplier and in a 1999 SAE paper are '''"energy hybrids"''' and '''"true hybrids"'''. PHEVs can also operate in a [[blended mode]] where both gasoline and external electricity are used simultaneously to increase gasoline mileage for a particular range, usually double that of its electric-only range. Connected vehicles also make possible [[Vehicle-to-grid]] applications which could provide many advantages to both grid operators and vehicle owners.

		+	The [[PHEVLER]] is defined as a PHEV with sufficient battery capacity for all electric driving of twice the average daily distance. The average daily driving distance in the USA is 30 - 35 miles, so the 2016 Chevrolet Volt with an electric range of 53 miles is the first commercial car to (almost) qualify as a PHEVLER.
