Plug-In Hybrid & Fully Electric Vehicles

The Volt is the perfect opportunity to drive an electric vehicle without even realizing it’s electric. It can make shorter trips without using gasoline and will seamlessly switch to the gasoline powered engine for those trips that are longer.

The Kia Niro is a compact SUV that provides practicality and value in a petite package. The Niro plug-in hybrid boasts a combined city/highway rating of 105 MPGe, and it also has an estimated all-electric driving range of 26 miles before engaging the gasoline engine. The Niro is perfect for drivers seeking an SUV with impressive fuel efficiency, there are few choices better than a Niro hybrid.

The Niro is a good choice for both long trips and around town driving due to its extended mileage.

The Outlander PHEV is a 5 passenger crossover AWD SUV that can travel up to 22 miles solely on electric power. When using the electrified powertrain in conjunction with the gasoline engine, which is most of the time, the Outlander hybrid has a range of 310 miles. Recharging takes around eight hours with a standard 120-volt outlet, less than four hours with a Level 2 charger and the battery can be charged up to 80% in just 25 minutes using a DC fast charger.
