Wondering Whether to Buy a Hybrid Car or Electric Vehicle?

In order to make the most informed choice when deciding between Subaru hybrid cars and Subaru electric vehicles, you need to do some research. When you shop with Herb Gordon Subaru, this means talking with our friendly dealers about the benefits of both choices and their compatibility with your lifestyle.   

All About Hybrid Vehicles  

The hybrid vehicles at our local Subaru dealership feature a gas engine and a battery-powered electric motor. At low speeds, the electric motor springs into action, powering the car to ensure minimal gas expenditure and maximum fuel efficiency. At higher speeds, the motor functions as a generator by collecting braking and coasting energy and storing it for use when the car next accelerates.  

The advantages of a hybrid vehicle are many and include great fuel economy and lack of needing to recharge the battery, since this happens while you're driving. Moreover, hybrids have been around the longest of any electric vehicle (EV), and there are lots of great options to consider.   

All About Electric Automobiles  

With an electric vehicle from Herb Gordon Subaru, no fuel (gas, diesel, or otherwise) is required. 100 percent of the vehicle's power is derived from an electric motor that's powered by a large battery pack. Since this battery requires regular charging, it's essential to have a reliable place at which to do the charging, whether that's at home or at a public charging facility.  

The frequency of charging depends in part on how you drive and how many accessories you like to operate during your ride. For example, running the AC on high, charging your phone frequently in-car, and driving at high speeds will consume more battery life. EVs offer a number of advantages, the most important of which is that they're positive environmental impact due to their lack of a carbon footprint.  

With an EV, Subaru service is minimal - since these cars don't use gas, they don't need oil changes, and the absence of a transmission makes for easier routine checkups.
