I want to buy an energy-efficient vehicle, and I suppose I can decide between an EV or a plug-in. How do I choose between an electric and a hybrid car?

Both are great options, but the best way to choose between an electric or hybrid car is to weigh the pros and cons. Each type of car has
environmental benefits
but may have some drawbacks depending on your lifestyle.
Pros and Cons of electric cars
  • Pro - Electric vehicles help drivers save more money because they don’t use gasoline.
  • Con - There is still a lack of charging infrastructure to support fully electric cars.
Pros and Cons of hybrid vehicles
  • Pro - The additional gasoline engine in hybrid cars allows for more range and longer trips.
  • Con - Drivers pay more in operating costs and fuel.
