Benefits of Choosing Hybrid Vehicles in Garden Grove, CA

Hybrid options in the automotive industry are becoming increasingly popular among car shoppers, and here at Simpson Chevrolet of Garden Grove, we understand the trend. HEVs, or hybrid electric vehicles, offer consumers many unique advantages that gas-powered models can’t supply, and many auto brands are taking notice. Chervolet has its own fully-electric vehicle, the Bolt EV, which boasts an EPA-estimated 259 miles of range on a single full change.¹ Now that’s impressive. Curious about what the benefits are to driving a hybrid, plug-in hybrid or all-electric vehicle are? Keep scrolling below to learn our top reasons why you should choose green the next time you’re shopping for a car.

Benefits of Choosing Hybrid

Eco-friendly

So what’s our first reason to purchase or lease a hybrid vehicle? It gives the earth a breather! Your footprint on the environment will be lessened with a fast-charging hybrid at your command. Many hybrids are now boasting MPGe estimates of over 40, 45, even 50, and there are some that qualify as zero-emission vehicles, meaning no fuel is burned for energy to power it. You’ll still have the transportation you need without the footprint.

Wallet-pleaser

All of those trips not taken to the gas station really add up over time. Those high efficiency engines will help you save money when it comes to fuel consumption (the Bolt EV could help you save as much as $5,000 in fuel costs over five years).2 And since all-electric vehicles operate without your standard engine upkeep (like oil changes, engine belt replacement, transmission fluid flushes), your savings increase when you consider the maintenance as well.

Tax Incentives

Plus, upfront costs can be lowered with qualifying federal and state tax incentives. In order to build and maintain the market for electric vehicles, the U.S. Department of Energy helps consumers by providing incentives, rebates and credits for those who have purchased a qualifying vehicle. If you’re curious about what incentives you could qualify for, visit their Alternative Fuels Data Center and select your state.

Warranty

You may not know, but the warranties that come standard with many hybrid vehicles can be better than their gas-powered counterparts. For example, the Bolt EV comes with a 8-Year/100,000-Mile Battery Limited Warranty, which protects your model’s battery for a long time after purchase.³ Some hybrid warranties even transfer from owner to owner, so if you find a used hybrid in our inventory, it very well could be still covered under its original warranty as well.

All-Electric Bolt EUV and the Redesigned Bolt EV

2022 just got better. Chevrolet just revealed the redesign of the 2022 Bolt EV and introduced a new member to their electric lineup: the all-electric 2022 Bolt EUV. Whether you’d like to try out the available Super Cruise function, a driver assistance feature that makes your journey hands-free, or the engaging sport mode, both vehicles offer unparalleled efficiency.⁴

The electric future is here. There are many reasons why you should consider a hybrid vehicle when you’re ready to start shopping.
