PHEV
A plug-in hybrid, sometimes called a PHEV, is a step towards full electrification. PHEVs can go between 12 and 97 miles on electricity alone.
Once the battery is drained, PHEVs operate like conventional hybrids and switch between gas and electric operation seamlessly.
Now, PHEVs do require some extra effort. To get the maximum EV range every time you drive, you’ll need to plug into a charger daily, but the beauty of the PHEV is its flexibility.
For example, a Chevy Volt with fully-charged battery can travel 53 miles on electricity alone. That’s enough for most commutes. Add a full tank of gas, and the combined range extends to an impressive 420 miles.
The PHEV’s best for people with short commutes who can take full advantage of the EV-only capabilities. Access to a charger in your home or workplace is essential to get the most out of a PHEV.
Common services hybrids need include:
- Oil changes, spark plugs, filters and regular maintenance
- Software Updates
- Battery Replacement, Upgrades and Battery Reconditioning
- Transmission repairs and replacement and fluid changes
- Suspension struts and shocks
- Brake pads, rotors and calipers and brake fluid
- Water pumps and cooling system repairs
- Gaskets, seals and leak repairs
- Timing belt replacements and more
Electric Vehicle (EV)
Electric vehicles, or EVs are true to their name. Fully electric with no gasoline engine even as a backup. Today’s EVs have EPA-estimated ranges between 57 and 335 miles, with most falling somewhere around 100 miles.
Highway driving, cold weather, and driving habits can all negatively impact an EV’s range in a dramatic fashion, and since you can’t just stop for gas, you need to plan your trips carefully.
Also, the EV driving experience is different from a traditional car. EVs offer a strong swell of power from a stop, something most drivers like. Let off, and the EV will begin harvesting energy to regenerate the battery charge.
The braking effect from regeneration can be quite strong. It’s a little strange at first but a lot of fun once you get used to it.
Hybrid
A hybrid vehicle has two powertrains, one gasoline and one electric, which work together for maximum efficiency.
In some situations, the engine can shut off entirely, relying solely on the battery. The battery is charged by capturing energy from the braking system or directly from the gas motor.
Hybrids come in all shapes and size, and the most fuel efficient today can return almost 60 miles per gallon.
It’s a great choice if you want to save on fuel without sacrificing range or lifestyle. There’s no electric charging to worry about. Just fill the hybrid with gas, and go.
