Buying an EV
If you are looking into purchasing an EV, you have several options to choose from. Both standard and luxury manufacturers are now offering hybrid and fully electric models, from compacts to trucks to SUVs, that suit your needs.
TYPES OF EVs
Compared to traditional vehicles with internal combustion engines (ICE) powered by combustible fuel, petroleum, or natural gas products, the phrase “electric vehicle” is a broad category that includes all vehicles that are fully powered by electricity or an electric motor.
- Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) use an electric motor to assist a gas-powered engine. All energy comes from gasoline, but these vehicles have lower emissions than ICE.
- Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) have a battery, an electric motor, a gasoline tank, and an internal combustion engine. Most plug-ins will use the battery for an average of 30 miles before switching to the gas. The battery can be recharged while driving through regenerative breaking.
- Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are powered solely by an electric battery and are considered zero emission vehicles, as they have no gas engine parts.
