找到适合你的电动汽车
As new battery electric and plug-in hybrid models become available on the EV market, you have multiple types of electric vehicles to choose from.
纯电动汽车(BEV)
-
Powered solely by electricity; does not have an internal combustion engine.
- Recharges through at-home and public charging stations.
- No tailpipe emissions or use of fossil fuels.
Plug-in Hybrid 电 Vehicle (PHEV)
- Powered by electricity and gas; has an internal combustion engine.
- Runs for a set number of miles on an electric battery; switches to gas when battery power runs out.
- Recharges through at-home and public charging stations.
- No tailpipe emissions or use of fossil fuels while the EV runs on electric battery power.

使用PlugStar, an online shopping tool that simplifies the EV shopping experience, 检讨电动车车型的选择, 定价, 退税, 激励和收费. You can also connect to a PlugStar Certified Dealer that is specially trained to support your EV needs.
First, calculate how many miles you typically drive every day. While a battery electric vehicle (BEV) will likely fit your needs, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) may be a better choice if you regularly drive longer distances. 使用PlugStar to shop for new or used EVs.
第二, 比较你的电动汽车充电选择. EVs can charge at home with a standard, 120-volt charging station (Level 1 charger) that plugs in to a standard wall outlet. 如果你喜欢更快的家用充电器, you can work with a certified electrician to install a specialized, 240-volt charging station (Level 2 charger). If you need to charge while on the road, DC fast chargers and Level 2 chargers are available at public charging stations.
最后, 探索各种激励措施, 包括税收抵免和退税， that may be available for the EV you want to purchase or lease.
The most regular maintenance you can expect with an EV is tire and windshield wiper replacement. Typically, an EV requires less maintenance than 标准汽油车 原因如下:
- An EV’s battery, motor and electronics require little to no regular maintenance.
- An EV has fewer moving parts and fluids that require regular maintenance.
- A plug-in hybrid EV requires fewer oil changes than gas vehicles, while a fully electric battery EV requires no oil changes at all.
- 由于再生制动, an EV’s braking system wears out less quickly than a gas vehicle’s conventional braking system.
Plug-in hybrid EVs require less gas than a standard gasoline vehicle, 而电池电动汽车完全不使用汽油. When you charge and drive an EV instead of a gas vehicle, you significantly reduce your greenhouse gas emissions. Plus, if you have a solar energy system at your home, you drive with an almost net-zero environmental impact.
EVs deliver quicker acceleration than 标准汽油车. They also have better handling than gas vehicles because they have a lower center of gravity and an almost ideal weight distribution.
The financial benefits of an EV include the following:
- 更低的运营成本 — The estimated cost of electricity to charge a plug-in EV is less than the average cost of gasoline to fuel a standard vehicle.
- 更低的维护成本 — An EV has fewer moving parts than a gas vehicle, so it requires little to no regular maintenance.
- 可用退税和税收抵免 — 有几个州, federal and income-qualifying incentives that may help you save thousands on a new or used EV.
