By knowing exactly what you’re getting with a specific electric model, you can drive with added assurance for the roads around Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Chesapeake, VA.

Join Cavalier Mazda as we explore the key differences between electric and hybrid vehicles. Read on to learn more, and reach out to our Mazda experts with any questions you may have.

Pros of Driving Electric

The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) is one that provides a cleaner, greener future, but knowing what differentiates an EV from the rest of the market is essential in making an informed purchase. For starters, they do not produce tailpipe emissions, thus cleaning the air around us, and paving the way for potentially healthier air all around the world.

However, their primary benefit lies within its savings. EVs are incredibly cost-effective to operate. Whereas a gas-powered vehicle requires frequent gasoline refills, an EV carries electric performance that delivers long ranges, which means fewer stops. The cost of recharging an EV can be considerably lower in cost as well, and in some cases, public charging stations may offer free charging.

Pros of Driving Hybrid

All-electric sedans and SUVs are certainly enticing, but they cost more at the dealership due to their advanced technology. Luckily, those looking for a gas alternative can rely on hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Like their electric counterparts, hybrid vehicles provide extended driving ranges to ensure that you save more as you travel.

Plus, with plug-in hybrid technology, drivers can expect to drive with the best of both worlds, all without breaking the bank. It’s easy to charge, too, as at-home chargers work with any plug-in hybrid vehicle.
