Do hybrids have a greater range than electric cars?
I definitely want to be more eco-friendly and get a hybrid or electric car for my next vehicle, but I’m concerned about the range on a fully-electric car. Would I be able to get more range from a hybrid model?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Your typical fully-electric car can get about 200 miles in range before needing a recharge. This is a bit less than your standard gas-powered car. Depending on the size of your gas tank, most cars with an internal combustion engine can go for about 250 to 300 miles before needing a fill-up.
The benefit of a car like a plug-in hybrid is that you get all the range that you’d get from a regular tank of gas with the bonus of being able to get an additional 30 to 50 miles of range from a single charge of the battery.
