I am so confused by the categorisation of cars: BEV, HEV, PHEV and so on. I think the industry insiders who write some of these articles don't realise how hard it is for some of their readers to keep track.

Ignore the "EV" part.

B = Battery

H = Hybrid

PH = Plug-in hybrid (Same as a hybrid but you can charge up the hybrid battery at home)

To be fair, the article is written on a website for the auto industry, so it's reasonable for them to assume their target audience is familiar with these terms. I argue the onus is on OP for explaining these since they're sharing it to a different audience than it was written for.
