As you explore our selection of the Hyundai vehicles for sale here at Selma Hyundai, you will likely come across hybrid vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Both are excellent options if you are looking for a car that can help you cut back on fuel consumption, but what is the difference between the two? Hybrid models and plug-in hybrid models are similar, but they have some key differences that are important to note if you are thinking about buying a new car. Here's a quick overview of what sets these two vehicle types apart.
Hyundai Hybrid Models
Hyundai hybrid vehicles, such as the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid, use technologies like regenerative braking to help conserve energy, allowing them to use less fuel. Hybrid technologies are designed to help hybrid vehicles burn less gas so that you can enjoy more efficient adventures around Fresno. Aside from the fuel savings, fueling a hybrid vehicle during your journeys around Hanford and Visalia shouldn't feel much different from fueling a traditional car.
Hyundai Plug-in Hybrid Models
The main difference between a hybrid vehicle and a plug-in hybrid vehicle like the Hyundai Santa Fe Plug-in Hybrid is that plug-in hybrid models have more powerful batteries, which allow them to travel short distances using only electricity. This also means that plug-in hybrid models need to be recharged in order to utilize their electric driving range. You can plug a plug-in hybrid vehicle into a standard outlet overnight to recharge, but many drivers opt to have a Level 2 charger installed in their home for faster, more convenient charging.
