Types of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles
There are several different types of hybrid and electric vehicles, and knowing how they differ is important if you want to get one to drive in Epping. Hybrid and electric vehicle types include:
- Mild Hybrid: Mild hybrid vehicles are still primarily powered by a gas engine. A mild hybrid motor improves fuel economy and is powered by the engine and transferred energy from braking.
- Full Hybrid: Full hybrid vehicles feature a more powerful electric motor than mild hybrids. The electric motor might add a noticeable boost to the powertrain and can significantly improve the vehicle's fuel economy. The electric motor of a full hybrid vehicle is recharged in the same manner as with mild hybrid vehicles.
- Plug-In Hybrid: Plug-in hybrid vehicles feature an even more powerful electric motor than full hybrid vehicles. Plug-in hybrid vehicles can often be driven on purely electric power for a period of time and can provide a significant boost to the powertrain. Plug-in hybrid vehicles usually have superb fuel economies. The electric motors in plug-in hybrid vehicles need to be charged either at home with a charging device or at a DC fast charging station.
- Electric: Electric vehicles rely entirely on electric motors which draw power from a battery. They use no gasoline and have no tailpipe emissions. Electric vehicles must be plugged in to recharge their batteries.
- Fuel Cell: Fuel Cell vehicles are powered by electric motors and produce zero tailpipe emissions. Unlike regular electric cars which are plugged in to recharge, fuel cell vehicles take hydrogen, have it react with oxygen to create electricity, and then either use the electricity to power the vehicle or store it in a battery. Instead of plugging in a fuel cell vehicle, you fill up on hydrogen the way you would fill up on gas.
The Benefits of Owning a Hybrid or Electric Vehicle
One of the most obvious benefits of owning an electric vehicle is the money you can save on gas. Hybrid vehicles let you make far fewer trips to the gas station, so you can focus on getting your errands done in Newburyport, MA. Electric vehicles eliminate the need for gas entirely. Because electrified vehicles use less gas or none at all, you can feel good about driving a vehicle that leaves a much smaller footprint on the environment.
