There has been a lot of buzz surrounding electric vehicles as of late. However, are they the best option for you, and how do they stack up against another green alternative — the hybrid vehicle?

Let’s explore.

Hybrid vs Electric Vehicles

Hybrid vehicles are a cross between standard cars and electric vehicles. It is mainly powered by an internal combustion engine (ICE) combined with an electric motor that generates energy while driving to be stored in its batteries.

Electric Vehicles (EVs), on the other hand, do not possess internal combustion engines at all. They are solely run on an electric motor and a battery pack. While EVs also use regenerative braking to increase power efficiency, an EV’s main power source is its battery, which can be recharged at a charging point using electricity from the power grid.
