Why Drive a Plug-In Hybrid Vehicle?

Plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) use electric motors, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, and gas engines for power. They only use the gas engine when the electric motor runs out of charge. To recharge these batteries, Hamilton drivers simply plug them into electrical outlets, home chargers, or public charging stations. Since PHEVs have larger batteries than regular hybrid models, they can go several miles on electric power only. You may even be able to use them for your commutes in Dayton without having to burn any gasoline.

Regular hybrids will always consume some gas and release a few emissions because they have limited electric capability. Instead of plugging into a charger to replenish the battery, regular hybrids use 'regenerative braking.' The kinetic energy that's used to slow the vehicle down is converted to electricity by the electric motor and stored in a small battery. Each time you use the brakes, the vehicle recharges automatically to some degree. Since plug-in hybrids have bigger batteries and stronger electric motors, they usually have peppier acceleration than traditional hybrids.
