The electric and plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) industry is growing every year. Yet, even with more electric and PHEV models to choose from, it is still sometimes straightforward as to which option is better. We at Crenshaw Hyundai do not believe one is a better option than the other, but each vehicle type has unique advantages.
How They Differ
PHEVs Make the Most of Both Gas & Electricity: The biggest advantage of PHEVs is that they use both a conventional gas powertrain and an electric powertrain. PHEVs, such as the Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV and Hyundai Tucson PHEV, can run on electric-only power for a limited number of miles, helping drivers save money on gas. Electric vehicles rely on electric-only power and one powertrain.
Electric Vehicles Minimize Carbon Footprints: A big draw of electric vehicles, like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Hyundai Ioniq 6 is that they leave a greener footprint. They minimize carbon emissions and are better for the environment overall.
PHEVs Have More Range: It is no secret that electric vehicle range is not quite up to conventional gas-powered standards. However, that con does not apply to PHEVs. PHEVs have a conventional gas-powered range plus the extra handful of miles the electric powertrain adds.
Electric Vehicles Are Fun to Drive: Another reason drivers like electric vehicles is quite straightforward: they're fun to drive. Instant acceleration, excellent handling, and low-end torque are common traits among electric models.
