Types of Electric Vehicles for Sale in Redwood City

Hybrid Electric Vehicles

Not ready for a fully electric model? No problem. There are plenty of hybrid electric vehicles, or HEVs, available at Redwood City INFINITI. Hybrids use one or two electric motors, a battery, and a standard internal combustion engine that work together to conserve fuel. The battery is charged through regenerative braking, which harnesses the kinetic energy that comes from using your brakes. That energy goes to the battery in small doses, which then powers the electric motor. Some examples of hybrids include the now-available Toyota Prius Prime and Toyota Camry.

Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles

Another option is a plug-in hybrid. Like HEVs, a plug-in hybrid combines an internal combustion engine with electric motors and a battery. The difference is that plug-in hybrids use a battery that needs to be charged. Take the Wrangler 4xe, for example. The 2023 model in our current inventory can run on all-electric power, hybrid mode, or rely on the gas-powered engine to get you where you need to go. Plug-in hybrids give lots of options and allow you to conserve fuel in several different ways, depending on what type of driving you’re doing. 

Battery Electric Vehicles

If you want zero-emissions driving without the need for fuel, then an EV might be right for you. Electric vehicles use only a battery and electric motors, which means that the battery needs to be charged. Different EVs can have different ranges, but models like the Kia Niro EV can take you nearly 240 miles on a single charge. Instead of stopping at a gas station, you’ll need to plan your trips around charging stations. The good news, though, is that you can also install a charging station right at home, and there are lots of public charging stations in the Bay Area and across the country.
