Electric when you want it. Gas when you need it.
Electric power and gas take your MPG further.
Electric power created by hydrogen. Water is the only emission.
An electric vehicle (EV) has a sufficiently large battery while sporting an electric motor that is powerful enough to deliver long range driving capability and performance without even needing a gas tank or engine. Reducing CO2 emissions by going fully electric is one way to lessen our impact on the environment. Zero tailpipe emissions.
A plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) is a gasoline-powered hybrid with a noticeably larger battery and has the capability to recharge it using an external power source. When the battery has charge, it behaves similar to an electric car but the engine fires up. When the battery begins to get low, it also uses regenerative braking to save fuel.
A hybrid is a 100% gasoline-fueled vehicle but does not rely entirely on its gas engine for propulsion. Hybrids have electric motors that will sometimes work in tandem with the engine to save fuel. Methods of regenerative braking are used to help you accelerate next time your car is at a complete stop.
Like all electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles use electricity to power an electric motor. The difference being that fuel cell EVs produce electricity using hydrogen instead of solely relying on a battery. Creating a true zero emission vehicle.
Up to $7,500 rebate. Additional state incentives may apply.
Several state, local utilities and others offer additional incentives.
Normal upkeep and repairs are less likely with EV vehicles. Less time at the service shop, more time on the road.
