First, we’ll start by giving you the basics of both types of cars, so you know exactly what to expect. Get a foundational understanding of the differences between hybrid vs. electric vehicles so you can determine which is best for your Ames lifestyle.
If you’re not ready to go fully electric, hybrid vehicles are a perfect choice. They still have a gas-powered engine, giving you the familiarity you’re looking for. They also have an electric motor that works in tandem with the gas engine to power the car, making it a hybrid vehicle. You’ll still have the benefits of saving money on gas, and you won’t have to worry about charging the battery because it self-charges, saving you time as well.
Unlike hybrid cars, electric vehicles (EVs) use purely electric power to operate the vehicle. Because of this, the battery of an EV is much larger than hybrid vehicles because it is the sole power source of the vehicle. Instead of going to the gas station, you can charge your battery at your house, grocery store, or any public place that has a charging station. No more standing outside in the cold to fill your gas tank!
If you’re apprehensive about making the switch to a fully-electric vehicle, the hybrid option is likely the best choice for you. You can treat it like a trial run before purchasing an electric vehicle if you’re interested. Additional benefits include:
