Hybrid vs Electric Vehicles
What's the difference between a hybrid and an electric vehicle? Drivers who are looking to save on gas have been asking our team this question.
A hybrid vehicle partners an engine with an electric motor, giving you an efficient driving experience. You can still refuel its gas tank without looking for a charging station.
An electric vehicle runs solely on its battery. This produces zero tailpipe emissions as you tap into a growing network of charging stations. You can even recharge your vehicle at home.
Hybrid Vehicle | Â | Electric Vehicle |
Pairs a conventional engine with an electric motor | Powertrain | One or more electric motors power your vehicle |
Efficient powertrain results in fewer stops at gas stations | Your Next Road Trip | Skip gas pumps, but map out fast-charging stations to replenish your vehicle's battery |
Get home faster by stopping less often for fuel | Your Commutes | Get ready for the week by recharging at home |
Spending less for gas helps you save | Value | Skip service appointments like oil changes or muffler service |
Both vehicles produce a quieter driving experience. The introduction of an electric motor reduces the noise your vehicle's engine makes.
