Should I Buy a Hybrid Vehicle or Electric Vehicle?
If you're shopping for a new vehicle, you have many options to choose from. Recently, many brands have been shifting towards hybrid and electric vehicles. While both types of vehicles offer many advantages, choosing a new Toyota hybrid model allows you to enjoy the benefits of a gasoline powered engine, along with the added performance and efficiency of a hybrid powertrain, without needing to charge your battery before getting behind the wheel.
At Alderman's Toyota, we have a new Toyota hybrid vehicle to fit the needs of any driver around Rutland, offering many different new Toyota hybrid cars, SUVs, and trucks. Whether you want to save on gas during your trips around Middlebury, you're looking for the SUV with the highest level of performance and fuel economy, or you need a truck that's equipped to take on the toughest jobs, we can help you find it when you shop our large selection of new Toyota Hybrid vehicles.
What's the Difference Between a Hybrid and Electric Vehicle?
Electric vehicles run entirely off battery power, meaning you'll have to plug-in your vehicle everyday and let the battery recharge before you take off. In Toyota hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles, you get to enjoy many of the same advantages offered by electric vehicle, including heightened efficiency, without needing to recharge a battery every time. We have traditional hybrid vehicles and plug-in hybrid models, letting you choose which option fits your lifestyle and needs the best. Both hybrid and plug-in hybrid models use the gasoline engine as the primary power source, rather than a battery. This gives you greater freedom, without having to plan out a charging schedule.
How Do Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles Differ?
A traditional hybrid vehicle uses its own system to generate power, using things like regenerative braking to refill its battery, improving your fuel economy with every tire rotation. Plug-in hybrid vehicles recharge the battery by plugging it into a power source. Plug-in hybrid vehicles also let you take advantage of all-electric power, allowing you to drive a certain amount of miles using power from the battery, with no affect on your fuel. Both vehicle, though, use a gasoline powered engine, meaning that when you need to be somewhere, it only takes a turn of the key to ignite the engine and be on your way.
What are the Cons of Electric Vehicles?
Driving an electric vehicle can have many advantages. However, there are some things that might be considered disadvantages. Because electric vehicles are reliant on battery power, you'll need to recharge the battery everyday to ensure that you have enough power and range to make it to your destinations. If you unexpectedly need to drive further than you anticipated, your battery might not have the strength to make it there, leaving you at a charging station waiting until you have sufficient battery power to make it the extra distance. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles don't have that problem, as you can refill your gas at any station and be on your way.
