Electric cars are taking the automotive industry by storm, and Toyota’s expanding roster of electric vehicles is slowly becoming the star of the show. With an impressive balance of additional power and efficiency, Toyota’s electric and hybrid cars continue to offer all the quality, durability, and reliability that Toyota is so well-known for. Want to learn more? Everything you need to know before switching to an electric vehicle is right here.
1. Are Electric Cars Better for the Environment?
Yes! Toyota is working hard to produce the best electric vehicles on the market while keeping carbon emissions as close to zero as possible. Electric cars are an excellent and more sustainable alternative to classic gas-fueled automobiles. Hybrid models are also a great choice for those looking to lower their carbon footprint. Hybrids utilize two energy sources: traditional internal combustion engines and battery-powered electric motors. The two power sources work together to produce maximum fuel efficiency while dramatically reducing the percentage of carbon dioxide released while driving.
Note: In addition to the electric motor’s environmental benefits, it also delivers a smoother, quieter ride!
2. Electric Cars Save Money With Better MPG
Because Toyota’s electric models use less gas (or none at all!), driving an electric car saves you tons of money on fuel. While each model is unique, gasoline-powered vehicles generally cost nearly twice as much to fuel as electric cars. Fully electric cars, however, have batteries that convert almost 40% more energy into vehicle movement on average. So whether you choose a hybrid or all-electric model, you’ll be getting more miles per dollar than ever before.
3. How to Charge Your Electric Vehicle & Where to Find Charging Stations
Charing your electric car is a lot easier than you might think. All-electric vehicles can be charged at home overnight or on the go at your local charging stations. No more trips to a busy, expensive gas station are needed!
