First, we’ll go over the differences between hybrid cars vs. electric cars. Second, we’ll extol the main benefits of having a hybrid vs. an electric car. If you still have questions, we can answer them for you!
There are two main types of hybrid vehicles in the hybrid vs. electric debate. Traditional hybrids have an electric motor and a gasoline engine that work in concert with each other to deliver forward motion in Portage la Prairie and beyond. The gasoline engine recharges the battery of a traditional hybrid.
The second type of hybrid car is a plug-in hybrid (PHEV). Lincoln has two models with PHEV capabilities, the Lincoln Nautilus and Lincoln Corsair, with Grand Touring trims. When understanding the hybrid vs. electric debate, it’s important to note that PHEVs have batteries that do not recharge automatically with the gasoline engine. You recharge them at home in your garage. However, you can drive for several kilometres on a PHEV battery before the gas engine takes over. If you have a short commute, you might not use a drop of gasoline all week when you recharge the PHEV battery in your garage for a few hours overnight.
An electric vehicle (EV) runs solely on electric power through a massive battery back that typically sits underneath the cabin. You can charge an electric vehicle at home or a public charging station. The range of your EV will change based on the model you have. Lincoln is making the Lincoln Star sometime in 2025 as its first all-electric vehicle. Charging electric cars is cheaper than gasoline, so you can save a tonne of money on refuelling costs.
Hybrid cars are excellent in Dauphin if you want better fuel efficiency without giving up on gasoline entirely. See the benefits of hybrids when you think about a hybrid vs. an electric car:
EVs can lower your refuelling costs and also your maintenance costs because they have fewer moving parts. You won’t have oil changes or new spark plugs to worry about. See the benefits of EVs here:
