Hybrids/EVs Ratings
Hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and electric vehicles (EVs) provide energy-efficient transportation while lowering emissions, diminishing noise, and reducing operating costs. According to a Consumer Reports study, EVs cost less to fuel and are cheaper to repair and maintain than comparable gasoline-powered models. But electrified vehicles—hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and EVs—are different from gasoline models, so it’s important to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each before choosing your next vehicle.
