One of the primary benefits of a hybrid vs. plug-in hybrid is that you won’t need to change your driving habits. A standard hybrid vehicle uses gas and electric power simultaneously, charging the battery via technology like regenerative braking, so you can essentially drive on the roads in and around Eatontown as you would with a conventional gas-powered car, stopping to fill up the tank as needed. The advantage of a hybrid is that you will be refilling the tank a lot less, due to the boost in fuel efficiency that a hybrid can provide.
The main difference between hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles is that a plug-in hybrid can run on gasoline or all-electric power independently. For example, a plug-in hybrid can run exclusively on electric power for short distances, helping you to conserve fuel when running errands around town in Colts Neck. A plug-in hybrid has a battery pack that requires charging via an external power source, so as long as you plug the vehicle in overnight to replenish the battery, you should have enough electric range to cover your routine daily driving. If you get stuck in traffic or are heading out on an extended road trip, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that the gas-powered engine will extend your driving range once the hybrid battery reserve is depleted.
Currently, there are Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicles (MHEVs) and Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEVs) available in the Land Rover and Range Rover lineups. These SUVs offer the same iconic style and superior off-road prowess of their gas-powered siblings, but offer increased fuel efficiency due to their innovative hybrid powertrains. Here are the hybrid options you’ll find at our dealership in Eatontown:
