Can’t Decide Between an ICE, Hybrid, Plug-In Hybrid or Electric Vehicle? Here’s Help! #Automotive
It’s hard enough buying a car or truck these days. Now you need to choose between traditional gas, hybrid, plug-in hybrid or all-electric powertrains. There’s a lot of bad information out there so Tom Voelk (who drives over 100 cars a year) does Tom Voelk things by calmly walking you through each of the technologies so you can come to your own conclusion on what is best for you and your needs. He owns gas, plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles, so he’s walked the talk.
These are general assessments of each system. Pros and cons. Keep in mind that everyone’s wants and needs are different. Buy the vehicle that’s right for you. Don’t be pressured by friends or family to get something that won’t work for your situation.
