Hybrid & Electric Vehicles: Expert Insights on Making the Switch

Electrified rides offer a combination of benefits: fuel savings, convenient charging options, lower operating costs, tax incentives, and a smooth, exhilarating performance. Hybrid vehicles are a great starting point between traditional and electric power. They offer an extended driving range, exceptional fuel efficiency, and lower emissions making them versatile, eco-friendly rides. Discover the benefits of hybrid and electric vehicles at Executive Chevrolet and find a vehicle that matches your lifestyle.

Unlock the Power of Electric

Electric vehicles offer significantly lower operating costs compared to traditional gas-powered cars. A study by Michigan’s Transportation Research Institute found that the average fuel cost for a gas-powered vehicle in the U.S. is $1,117 per year, while for an EV, it’s $485. With an EV your maintenance costs are also reduced, as electric motors have fewer moving parts and don’t require fluid changes. Additionally, the Energy Department provides up to $7,500 in tax credits to owners/lessees of EVs to further incentivize making the switch.

Beyond savings, EVs offer the convenience of being able to charge both at home and on the go. According to the Pew Research Center, 64% of Americans live within two miles of a public charging station. Our dealership even offers on-site charging stations. While significant progress in battery technology enables EVs to travel longer distances on a single charge, you are likely never far from a place to power up.

Go Further with Hybrid Efficiency

If you aren’t ready to transition to a fully-electric vehicle, a hybrid option provides flexibility that may be right for you. Environmentally, hybrids emit fewer pollutants and require less regular maintenance than gas-powered vehicles, all while maintaining power and the ease of driving. Hybrid vehicles have a longer brake life due to the regenerative braking feature, which stores energy for future use. These vehicles also have less moving parts as combustion engines, requiring less maintenance overall.

A hybrid is more fuel-efficient than a gas-powered vehicle, as it combines the power of an electric motor with a traditional gas engine. According to Kelley Blue Book, some models can reach up to 600 miles on a full charge and a full tank of gas. A hybrid vehicle not only offers extended range, but also the convenience of refueling at a gas or charging station.
