So you’ve decided it’s time to make the shift to alternatively powered vehicles. Trying to choose between a hybrid vs. electric car can be a hard decision. Fisher Acura compares hybrid cars vs. electric cars so you can get a better idea of the differences. Which option will fit your Golden lifestyle and driving needs? Learn more with Fisher Acura below.
First things first, understanding the basic differences between hybrid vs. electric cars, and establishing that core knowledge, will help you learn about which may suit your lifestyle better.

The gas engine in hybrid vehicles works in tandem with a secondary electric motor. Together they function to provide power as you drive through Fort Collins. Because they aren’t fully reliant on the gas engine, however, you can enjoy significant improvements in gas mileage. The electric motor in hybrid vehicles self-charges, typically through regenerative braking, so you never have to plug into a power source (unless you have a plug-in hybrid).
Choosing an electric vehicle will leave you with no engine. Simply a battery pack and an electric motor. An electric vehicle has a much larger battery than hybrid vehicles. They are charged via home chargers or public stations. The mileage range will vary depending on the size of the battery, make, and model of the vehicle.
