Benefits of Hybrid vs. Plug-in Hybrid vs. Electric Vehicles

Hybrid, plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and fully electric (EV) vehicles all offer unique advantages. Traditional hybrids like the Kia Niro and Carnival MPV provide the best of both worlds, with an electric motor and gas engine that work together seamlessly without needing to be plugged in. PHEVs can be plugged in for a short all-electric range and then run on gas for longer trips. EVs like the Kia EV9 produce zero tailpipe emissions and can be charged at home or public charging stations. Talk to our knowledgeable sales staff to determine which of these electrified vehicles best fits your lifestyle and driving habits.
