As electric vehicle options expand, drivers have more choices than ever before, but understanding those choices can be tricky. Whether you're considering full battery-electric models or plug-in hybrids, it's important to understand the benefits of each. At Hall | MileOne Autogroup, we offer a growing selection of EVs for sale to suit your unique lifestyle and driving habits — here's how EVs and PHEVs differ in key ways.
Power Source and Driving Range
EVs, or electric vehicles, run entirely on battery power and produce zero tailpipe emissions. They need to be charged using an external power source and often offer a range of 200 to over 300 miles on a full charge. Conversely, PHEVs, or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, use a smaller rechargeable battery and a gasoline engine. Most can travel 20 to 50 miles on electricity alone before switching to gas for extended range.
Charging Convenience
EVs typically require Level 2 home chargers or public fast-charging stations to recharge efficiently. For daily commuters with access to home charging, this can be simple and cost-effective. PHEVs, on the other hand, can use standard 120V outlets for charging and offer flexibility thanks to their gas backup, which means you won't be stranded if you forget to plug in.
Driving Experience and Maintenance
Since EVs have no traditional engine or transmission, they offer a smooth, quiet ride with near-instant torque. They also require less maintenance, with fewer moving parts and no oil changes. PHEVs feel similar to conventional vehicles but provide an electric driving option for short trips. They're a great transition for drivers who aren't ready to go fully electric.
