Sam Leman Toyota Bloomington Has Your Next Hybrid or EV!
Considering a hybrid or electric vehicle? Toyota has been on the forefront of hybrid technology since it introduced the Toyota Prius back in the early 2000s. In more recent years, however, Toyota has released vehicles like the Prius Prime that offer the benefit of operating like a hybrid or EV interchangeably. In fact, here at Sam Leman Toyota Bloomington, we’re proud to sell both vehicles to cater our growing number of Morton and Springfield shoppers interested in alternative fuel. Ready to make this year the year you go electric or buy a hybrid? We’re here to help at Sam Leman Toyota Bloomington!
Benefits of Buying a Hybrid or Electric Car in Bloomington
Wondering how electric vehicles (EVs) vs. hybrids compare? Here’s a quick overview.
How Hybrids Work
Hybrid vehicles combine the power of a gasoline engine with a secondary electric motor. The gas engine and electric motor work together to provide power as you drive through Springfield, increasing gas mileage significantly. The battery for the electric motor in hybrid vehicles self-charges off the engine, so you never have to plug into a power source.
How Electric Cars & Plug-In Hybrids Work
An electric vehicle (EV) runs on electric power alone. There is no internal combustion engine, just a battery and electric motor. The battery in EVs is much larger than in hybrids because it plays a more significant role in providing power. EVs must be charged at a charging station, and most Bloomington EV drivers choose to have one installed at home. Plug-in hybrid vehicles like the Toyota Prius Prime and RAV4 Prime can also be charged in this manner in order to operate in EV mode.
