Although establishing a percentage estimate of how a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) depends on electric power versus the internal combustion engine (ICE) can vary based on several factors such as driving habits, battery capacity, and the overall design of the vehicle.

There’s a generalized estimate which can be made:

• *Electric Power Usage: For most daily commutes and short trips, PHEVs can operate primarily on electric power. Let’s assume a typical daily driving distance of around 30-50 km, which is within the electric-only range for many PHEVs. In this scenario, the vehicle might use electric power for about *60-80% of its total usage.
• *ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) Usage: For longer trips or when the battery is depleted, the vehicle will switch to using the ICE. On extended road trips or in situations where charging infrastructure is not available, the ICE might be used more frequently. In this case, the vehicle might rely on the ICE for about *20-40% of its total usage.

These percentages are approximations and can vary significantly. For instance, a driver with a short daily commute who regularly charges the vehicle may operate almost entirely on electric power, whereas a driver who frequently takes long trips may rely more on the ICE.

To summarize:

• 60-80% electric power for short, daily commutes with regular charging.
• 20-40% ICE usage for longer trips or when electric power is not available.

These estimates help in understanding how PHEVs balance between electric and ICE power based on different driving patterns. Does this align with what you had in mind, or would you like to dive deeper into specifics?
