EVs can utilize electricity to power some or all of their required power. This is far cheaper than buying gasoline and can save you money in the long run.

EVs may cost more depending on what kind of power source they use. A plug-in hybrid’s cost can depend on your electrical bill and how often you charge it using public charging or at an at-home charging station. A regular hybrid uses regenerative braking which doesn’t cost money but ends up being more expensive as it relies more on gasoline.

Some of our vehicles that use plug-in charging come with complimentary charging through Electrify America. You simply have to sign up on their website and then access limited free charging at your nearest Electrify America location.

Aside from general electricity bill costs, depending on your vehicle, you may need to purchase a charging cord or plan for an at-home charging station. While there are many public charging locations, an at-home station is recommended. Some vehicles come with at-home charging cords or set-ups, make sure you plan ahead when deciding on a model.
