Battery Electric

Battery electric vehicles (BEV) are powered completely by a rechargeable battery, so you’ll never need a drop of gas or an oil change. All you have to do is plug in, recharge, and go.

Hybrid Electric

Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) use a battery and gas engine to optimize fuel efficiency and performance. They don’t need to be plugged in because regenerative braking and the gas engine recharge the battery pack.

Plug-In Hybrid Electric

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) are also powered by both battery and gas, using the battery first and switching to the gas engine once the battery is depleted, giving you the best of both worlds.
