When you shop for a hybrid or electric model, the information can be overwhelming, especially if you aren't familiar with these vehicles. Hybrid models work in conjunction with a gasoline engine while electric vehicles run solely on battery. Plug-in hybrid models, referred to as PHEV, must be plugged in to regenerate a charge. Regular hybrid vehicles don't require plugging in. Instead, they use regenerative braking and other methods of recharging. However, PHEVs often have a longer electric range than regular hybrid vehicles.
Electric vehicles have several methods of recharging. They can use a standard outlet at home, or you can install a special at-home charger, which charges faster. When you're driving, you can find public charging stations to recharge, much like stopping for gas. For the fastest solution, many EV models can use DC fast-charging stations, which can bring a battery from ten percent charge to 80 percent in less than 30 minutes.
When comparing hybrid and electric models, you'll want to look at the usual features, such as horsepower and torque, as well as fuel economy. However, you also want to compare charging time and range to see which model best fits your lifestyle. Many modern EV models have a range similar to gas-powered vehicles.
If you've decided that a hybrid or electric vehicle is your next purchase, you'll want to visit the dealership of your choice in the Hondru Auto Group. Our sales team is knowledgeable about the latest hybrid and EV models and can help you compare your options. You can talk to our finance team about warranties for electric batteries and other components and find out about extended warranties and what they cover.
When you buy your hybrid or electric vehicle, you will want to bring it to our Service Department for regular service. Because electric models don't have an engine, they require less maintenance. However, you want to take it to a team who knows the systems on your particular model. Our service technicians are trained in hybrid and electric technology, and they stay up to date on new systems as they are introduced.
You can browse our hybrid and EV lineup online or stop by one of our dealerships to test drive the model that catches your eye. Fill out our online application and start the process that will put you behind the wheel of a stylish, efficient vehicle that's fun to drive.

Increased Fuel Efficiency - Most Lancaster buyers are very interested in the estimated fuel economy of the vehicles they are considering. When you are looking at hybrid and electric vehicles, you will quickly see that the benefit of the electric motor is massive. The vehicles use the electric motor for power when idling and at low speeds. So, when you purchase a hybrid or EV, you will find that city driving and stop-and-go traffic are not the drain on your fuel tank that they once were. You are saving money and reducing your carbon footprint thanks to the electric motor.
Reduced Vehicle Emissions - If you live in a big city like Harrisburg, you are familiar with that cloud or haze that can hang over the area. The dust and debris in the air are due to emissions from cars, factories, and other sources, which fill the air we breathe with carbon and other particles. When you have an EV or hybrid, you help reduce the emissions that pollute the air in your city and around the globe.
Free Energy From Regenerative Braking - The regenerative braking system on your hybrid converts the heat that is created during braking into electricity that is stored in the vehicle's battery. This process provides the vehicle with added power and helps cool the brakes more rapidly, reducing wear on brake components.
A Better Driver Experience - The use of electric motors has been a game-changer for York drivers who want instant acceleration and smooth driving. The need for a mechanical transmission and gears is eliminated with an electric motor. So, there is no more hesitation when to touch the accelerator or that mechanical feel as the transmission shifts gears.
The Solution For Range Anxiety - A hybrid vehicle is the perfect solution to concerns about the range of a solely electric vehicle. With a hybrid, the vehicle is first powered by stored battery energy, then seamlessly transitions to the gas engine when the battery is depleted.
Reduced Long-Term Operating Expenses - As you might have guessed, driving a hybrid is sure to reduce the amount of gasoline you purchase. But you might not know that your routine car care costs will decrease as well. The electric motor takes some of the burden from the combustion engine, as does the regenerative braking. As a result, there is less wear on the gas motor, and it requires less service and sustains fewer breakdowns or failures, meaning you incur fewer engine-related repair costs.
Tax Credits And Incentives - Who does not love a tax break? When you purchase an EV or hybrid, you might qualify for tax credits, rebates, more affordable registration fees, and the use of HOV or carpool lanes. So, your hybrid or electric vehicle is saving you money and time.
