What sets an electric vehicle, or EV, apart from the rest of a brand's lineup? For starters, these models don't require any gasoline. An EV is powered by an electric motor and a battery pack. It needs to be charged by using an electric source. No gasoline is necessary to keep it running.
An EV gets its power from the battery pack. When charged, it sends electricity to the motor. That energy will take you all over town for as long as you need. When battery power nears depletion, you plug it in to recharge it.
There are typically three kinds of electric vehicles to consider. The first is a Plug-In Hybrid. It uses electricity and gasoline to get it moving. So, you get the motor, engine, and the battery pack. As its name suggests, you must plug it in to charge it. A hybrid essentially operates the same way; it uses regenerative braking to charge the battery whenever you come to a stop. All-electric vehicles are the third classification, which requires no gasoline.
This all depends on the size of the battery and the model. Some vehicles, like the Genesis GV60, can travel as much as 294 miles with a long-range battery and 235 with a shorter-range battery. The Hyundai Ioniq 6, for example, can go as far as 361 miles as its top driving range. Make sure you research the model you love so you know its driving range. Typically, you'll find a driving range between 225 miles to as much as 370 miles.
Two main types of charging stations are associated with electric vehicles. The starter setup is a Level 1 charger. This could essentially be any charger. It is similar to the ordinary outlet you'll find in your garage. While completely effective, this method takes longer to recharge your battery. A Level 2, or Fast Charging station, is a dedicated setup for your EV. It can be installed in your home, or you can find it at many shopping centers, hotels, and businesses around Amherst, NY. This is a recommended way to charge your vehicles.
