Hybrids
Hybrid vehicles are the most popular alternative fuel vehicle and can be an excellent introduction to the electric lineup from Hyundai. These vehicles rely on two or more power sources to make your vehicle run. The most common hybrid powertrain uses an electric motor and a gas-powered engine. These two engines can work together or separately, although you may find you get the best performance when they are combined. The gas engine can help your battery's charge last for longer. Meanwhile, the electric motor can reduce the amount of gas you're burning and improve your fuel economy.
Plug-In Hybrids
When you browse alternative fuel options from Hyundai, you'll also encounter plug-in hybrid vehicles. These vehicles work similarly to the traditional hybrid powertrain but use a larger battery pack. With a larger battery, your plug-in hybrid will require outside charging. You can easily charge your plug-in hybrid from the convenience of your Sulphur, LA home or bring it to one of the growing number of charging stations popping up across the nation. Your plug-in hybrid will primarily use its battery-powered motor. However, when your battery is running low, it will rely on the gas-powered engine to keep you moving.
