e:PHEV stands for Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle. What this means is that it combines a traditional engine with an electric motor and a larger, rechargeable battery. It works in various ways:

• Hybrid Mode: If the battery is empty, the e:PHEV will switch to its engine. It then operates like a standard hybrid, by blending both battery power and fuel.
• Electric Mode: Solely relies on the electric motor for a set distance, which is known as the electric range.
• Recharging: You can charge the battery by plugging it in. With Honda hybrid vehicles, the vehicle will also recharge itself using regenerative braking and deceleration.
