Electric vehicles use an electric motor to power the wheels, allowing for zero-emission driving. They run on lithium-ion battery packs that are recharged by connecting to an electrical power source such as a home charging station, public chargers, or over time through regenerative braking. This technology is also used in hybrid-electric vehicles that combine an internal combustion engine with an electric motor to get more mileage between fill-ups. These EVs are available as sedans, minivans, SUVs / crossovers, and pickup trucks with major manufacturers like Nissan, Chevrolet, Tesla, Ford, and more offering popular models in eco-friendly configurations. You can also receive federal, state, or local tax rebates to offset the cost of an electric car.
Electric cars are great for everyday commutes with their long-range batteries and instant torque from the electric motors, making them an excellent alternative to traditional gas-powered engines. Buying an EV also means never having to worry about running out of fuel for longer trips, as most new EVs can drive up to 300 miles on a single charge. When you pair this with the fact that it costs less to recharge an EV than it does to fill up at a gas pump, it’s no wonder that more drivers are choosing this type of vehicle.
Many of the same benefits that make EV car listings nearby so appealing to daily commuters can be found in plug-in hybrid vehicles, which are an ideal choice for road trippers. If you’re planning a cross-country trek, an electric hybrid might be the way to go as it can switch between all-electric and gasoline-powered driving for maximum range.
You can still find a number of all-electric vehicles in our inventory, including the all-new 2020 Ford Mustang Mach-E that brings high-performance driving to a greener form factor. This sleek, sporty, and powerful sedan features 249 miles of EPA-estimated range, a low-slung driving position, and an innovative interior that provides plenty of room for passengers and cargo.
If you’re looking for an electric vehicle that’s more rugged, we offer a variety of fully capable zero-emission pickup trucks. The Chevy Silverado EV is one of the most popular options, as it’s built off of the regular truck chassis and offers impressive towing capability with dual-motor tow-haul mode. And, if you’re searching for an EV with even more range and a premium appearance, we have Cadillac’s slick-looking Lyriq, which borrows its battery tech from the GMC Hummer EV and boasts up to 314 miles on a full charge.
