Why Buy Hybrid vs Electric?

Benefits of Hybrid Vehicles 

A hybrid car is one that’s able to use multiple power sources. That includes an internal combustion engine that requires gas and an electric motor powered by a battery. Because of this, it can conserve fuel to allow you to drive for more miles per gallon than a comparable gas-powered vehicle.

Also, the convenience of a hybrid is that you only need to focus on refueling the gas tank, which is done the same way you would with your traditional car that is solely powered by gas. The battery will be able to recharge itself, which is done through regenerative braking. This makes the switch to a more efficient ride quite simple and straightforward!

Benefits of Electric Vehicles 

With an electric car, power is only supplied by a battery pack. Because of this, electric vehicles (EVs) allow you to forego refueling your car at a gas station. Instead, you’ll just need to charge the battery, whether at home or at a public charging station, when it begins to get low in range.

Without the use of gas, electric vehicles emit a low amount of—and in some cases, no—tailpipe emissions. This allows you to drive a vehicle that’s very eco-friendly! Also, electric vehicles can typically be driven more miles between some common maintenance services. Plus, some of those maintenance requirements will no longer be needed when driving an EV, such as oil changes!

Why Buy a Hybrid vs Electric Car? 

As you can see, there are benefits to both options. That’s why the choice between buying a hybrid vs. electric car will ultimately come down to the type of driving you do and your needs. To figure out which type of car you’d personally prefer, here are a few things to consider:

• Type of Daily Commute - Whether you travel far on the highways each day or just make short trips mostly in the city, you may find that either a hybrid or an electric vehicle is more practical for the trips you routinely take. 
• Where You Live - If have your own garage where you can plug in your vehicle, an electric would fit perfectly. If you happen to live in an apartment, a hybrid might be more flexible, depending on available charging options overnight.

You’ll also want to consider the type of vehicle you want. The good news is that Hyundai has a variety of options in terms of electric and hybrid cars. Whether you need space for the family or would like to have certain luxury amenities, you can find what you need in the Hyundai EV and hybrid lineup!
