Explore Different Types of Electric Vehicles

As more and more people are looking into electric vehicles, there are a lot of questions we’re frequently asked. “What are the types of electric vehicles?, and “How many types of electric vehicles are there?” are frequently repeated in unison, whether over the phone or online. For those interested in taking a shot at a fuel-efficient EV, you want to know what’s available.

San Diego Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram knows that soon our new vehicles section is going to have more EVs, so let’s take a look at the four types you can find on the road today.

How Many Types of Electric Vehicles Are There?

There are four types of electric vehicles that offer unique perks to transform your Lemon Grove commute. Among the four available model types are the following:

• Hybrid Electric Vehicles: You’ve probably heard of hybrids the most among the other four. A hybrid vehicle features a self-charging motor that offers a set mileage limit and, once you’ve exhausted power, the vehicle’s gas engine takes over to power the motor and keep you moving on El Cajon roads. You will have to make sure you have some gas in the tank in order to get things started.
• Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles: These hybrid electric models come with a powerful battery and motor that must be charged in order to regain mileage, but are ideal for those looking to try out more fuel-efficient models for the first time. You can even take advantage of accessible charging stations around La Jolla. 
• Battery Electric Vehicles: Here you’ll enjoy a fully electric model with a much larger motor and battery than what’s offered in other electric vehicles, along with the advantage of needing less overall maintenance. Plus, you’ll notice far less noise without an engine during your San Diego travels, but you’ll need to invest in a home charger so that you’ll never be out of the mileage you need. 
• Hydrogen Electric Vehicles (Fuel Cell): Fuel Cell hybrid electric vehicles are much less common than the rest as they are much more expensive and are only available in certain locations due to limited charging stations for these cars.
