Gasoline, Hybrid, Plug-In, and Electric. There are a lot of options available when buying a new car, but what’s the difference? Gas and diesel vehicles rely solely on a combustion engine to move the vehicle. Hybrids add a small battery and at least one electric motor to the mix. Plug-ins have larger batteries than standard hybrids, meaning you can start the car and drive for short distances on electric power only - great for daily commutes. For further distances, or when extra power is needed, the gas engine kicks on, giving you plenty of range. Fully electric cars ditch the engine completely, just using a large battery and electric motors, for the most efficient form of automotive transportation.
