GM cars, part 3: the new Buick Electric SUVīuick’s new SUV reportedly will be based on the Bolt, using the same 60kWh battery that the Bolt uses.

A full charge and a full tank of gas will get you about 700 km. Regenerative braking helps recharge the electric motor-plus, as the name implies, you can plug this Caddy in to recharge it. The gas engine is a high-output 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder. When it relies exclusively on the battery, this hybrid will go 50km-pretty remarkable.

The Readers’ Choice Green Car of the Year. The Bolt, in particular, should come with its own trophy shelf. GM cars, part 1: the Chevrolet Bolt EV and VoltĪs we mentioned above, the Chevy Bolt EV is an electric vehicle, and the Volt is a hybrid-what Chev calls an extended-range electric car.īoth will save you money over time and both contribute much less (and, in the case of the Bolt, nothing) to greenhouse gases. But when you think about the fact that you’re driving the most advanced tech on the road and saving the environment at the same time, it’s a remarkable price. You can now get into a hybrid for under $40k. And with demand higher, prices have come down. However, hybrids have since become more popular and more manufacturers are making them. (Some might say prohibitively so.) That meant any savings you saw at the gas station were eaten up in the initial cost of the vehicle. When hybrids first hit the market, they were expensive. Do hybrids and electrics really save you money? That means in Ontario, you can claim a tax credit on the Bolt, Volt and Cadillac CT-6 Plug-in. Regardless of the type of hybrid or electric vehicle you choose, the vehicle will naturally emit less pollution than a vehicle that runs on gas alone. This stands to reason after all, the heavier the vehicle, the more gas you’ll need, as more torque is required to move the wheels. The bodies themselves are usually built with more lightweight materials. Bonus: you’ll be able to drive past more gas stations than you’d imagine.Ĭompared to standard cars, hybrid and electric vehicles have smaller engines-since the engine is not the only source of power. As you drive, normal braking increases the available charge to the battery and saves on fuel economy. Hybrids typically use a technology called regenerative braking-meaning that the vehicle uses the energy that is produced while you brake to feed the battery. Plug it in when you need a recharge and you’re good to go. The length of time a vehicle may run without being recharged depends on the vehicle specs, including the weight and number of batteries.Ī hybrid, as its name applies, runs on a combination of gas and electricity. “Electric” vehicles, such as the Chevy Bolt EV, run on electricity only-as you might imagine. 
If that’s the case, read on-here’s a handy guide from Budds’ with everything you need to know.
With hybrid and fully electric cars more and more in the news, maybe you’ve been thinking about giving the gas station a pass.
