A Few Questions to Help Guide Your Decision
EVs
EVs are all-electric and rely on rechargeable batteries. They have electric motors, and are charged through external electricity sources, such as standard wall plugs or dedicated wall chargers. They produce zero direct emissions.
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) combine their gasoline engines with electric motors. PHEV have rechargeable batteries, charged by external electricity sources and regenerative braking, which returns the energy created during braking back to their batteries.
There are many reasons to switch to an EV. For starters, they cost less to operate by substantially lowering maintenance and fuel costs. Charging your EV may cost nearly half as much as powering a standard gas car. Plus, you can save even more with federal and state tax credits and rebates. We’ve put together a helpful video explaining some of the benefits of EV ownership and how to make an informed buying decision.
