Many drivers equate electrified vehicles to plugging in. However, hybrid vehicles like the 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid are unique in the sense that they don’t need to be plugged in. At Heritage Honda Bel Air, we’re diving into all the details.
All About the Hybrid Powertrain
The 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid is equipped with a highly responsive and efficient hybrid powertrain, which includes a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and two electric motors. Together, they deliver up to 204 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque, so you don’t have to compromise on power. The engine gets its power from gasoline, while the electric motors are powered by a battery.
Charging a Hybrid Vehicle
You don’t charge a hybrid vehicle in the traditional sense that you may be thinking. There’s no plugging in involved — in fact, a hybrid vehicle actually charges itself as you drive. The internal combustion engine charges the battery and it also charges through regenerative braking.
Regenerative Braking Overview
A hybrid vehicle draws energy from its battery while you are driving. When you utilize regenerative braking to decelerate, the electric motor is reversed. During the process, it captures the energy that is normally lost during braking and stores it to be used later.
Monitoring Your Charge Level
You can easily keep track of your battery’s charge level with the SUV’s Power Meter. It displays your hybrid battery’s power output in a simplified design, so it’s easy to monitor. It also shows how your battery is recharging while you drive.
