EVs and Hybrids Across Dial Auto Group
Electrified vehicles come in a few different forms, and the right one depends on how and where you drive. This page explains the basics in plain language, then points you to the Dial Auto Group stores that sell the electrified models we have verified with the manufacturer. Availability, range, charging and incentives vary, so ask the store before you decide.
EV, hybrid or plug-in hybrid?
| Type | How it works | Do you plug it in? |
|---|---|---|
| Electric vehicle (EV) | Runs only on a battery and electric motors. It has no gas engine. | Yes. You charge it. |
| Hybrid (no plug) | Pairs a gas engine with an electric motor. The car recharges its own battery while you drive. | No. |
| Plug-in hybrid | Has a larger battery you can charge, plus a gas engine as backup for longer trips. | Yes, if you want electric driving. It can also run on gas. |

Is an electrified vehicle right for you?
If you can charge at home or work, an EV can fit daily driving well. If you cannot plug in regularly, a no-plug hybrid is the simplest step. A plug-in hybrid suits drivers who want some electric driving but need a gas engine for longer trips. Ask the store about charging options, range and any incentives that may apply to you.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a hybrid and a plug-in hybrid?
A regular hybrid charges itself and never needs a plug. A plug-in hybrid has a bigger battery that you charge from an outlet or charger.
