Why Choose a Hybrid or Electric Vehicle?
Hybrid and electric vehicles are experiencing a big boom in popularity, and it’s easy to see why when you think about it: between their cost-saving features and convenience. As well, with the impact traditional vehicles have had on our environment and air quality, some provinces and manufacturers have offered tempting incentives for drivers who choose hybrid or electric, such as rebates for qualifying vehicles. Thinking about making the switch yourself? Let’s dig a little deeper into why low- and zero-emission vehicles are a no-brainer!
What’s the Difference Between Hybrid and Electric?
If you’re new to the world of low/zero-emission vehicles, you might be wondering where to start–what’s the difference between a hybrid and an electric vehicle, anyway? The answer is the powertrain: electric vehicles solely run on charge stored in their battery, whereas hybrid vehicles combine a gasoline engine with an electric battery and motor, giving you the best of both worlds!
How Can A Low/No-Emission Vehicle Save You Money?
According to the Government of Canada, it can cost up to 10 times less to charge an electric vehicle when compared to driving the same distance in a gas/diesel alternative. Add to this their reduced maintenance requirements, lower fuel consumption for hybrid vehicles, and any available provincial and manufacturer rebates on zero-emission models, and you have a very solid case for driving electric. On top of all that, Toyota’s warranty coverage is noticeably more generous for electric and hybrid vehicles:
- Electric Vehicle Battery Warranty: 96 months or 160,000 km
- Electric Vehicle Battery Capacity Warranty: 96 months or 160,000 km
- Hybrid-Related Components Warranty: 96 months or 160,000 km
- Hybrid Battery Warranty: 120 months or 240,000 km
- Powertrain New Vehicle Limited Warranty: 60 months or 100,000 km
