Hybrid vs. Electric Cars

You've probably heard about hybrid vehicles for a while, but what's the difference between a hybrid, plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and EV? Each vehicle type presents unique benefits and challenges, so it's important to evaluate your driving habits and preferences to find the right one for you.

Hybrid

Hybrid vehicles combine an internal combustion engine with a small electric motor and battery pack to generate power. They only use electric power at certain speeds, and the electric power is good for a few miles. You still need to fill the gas tank with fuel, but regenerative braking recharges the electric motor, so there's no need to plug it in.

PHEV

PHEVs build on the hybrid concept by providing larger motors and battery packs that let you drive longer on all-electric power, from 20 to 50 miles. The internal combustion engine kicks in when the battery power runs out. You need to plug PHEVs in to recharge them, either at home or at a public charging station.

EV

EVs don't have an internal combustion engine. Instead, they run on one or two powerful electric motors and large battery packs. Depending on the make and model, EVs can go for 150-400 miles. You'll never have to stop at the fuel pump, as EVs don't use gas or diesel, instead recharging from a Level 1 or Level 2 charging system.

EV Benefits and Considerations

EVs use no fossil fuels and emit zero tailgate emissions that may harm the environment. You don't have to spend money at the fuel pump either, so your maintenance costs are lower, and you can take advantage of federal and state tax incentives when you purchase an EV. Surprisingly, EVs can come with a lot of power and torque, making them ideal for towing and hauling large payloads.

EVs may not be the best choice if you drive long distances. Because EVs need recharging, you'll have to find a charging station along the route. As more and more automakers offer EVs, public charging station networks are expanding, making it easier to recharge as you drive along. Today, Chevy customers have access to thousands of charging stations across the United States and Canada.

Chevrolet EV Models

While Chevrolet has several hybrid and PHEV vehicles, the auto brand is focusing on EVs due to high consumer demand for these sustainable vehicles. Today, Chevrolet offers three EVs: the Equinox EV, Blazer EV, and Silverado EV.

Equinox EV

The gas-powered Chevrolet Equinox is one of the most popular compact SUVs on the market. Now, Chevrolet offers the Equinox EV as a fuel-efficient electric SUV. The 2025 Equinox EV comes in two trims: the LT and RS.

Chevy also increased the power for the 2025 version of this beloved SUV. The electric motor on the front-wheel-drive trims gets 220 hp, while the two electric motors on the all-wheel-drive (AWD) trims get 300 hp. The EPA estimates this small electric SUV can go 285 miles between charges.

The Equinox EV has two rows of seats that comfortably fit up to five people. By folding down the rear seats, you'll have up to 57 cubic feet of storage space. Choose the RS trim for attractive features such as heated front seats, a hands-free liftgate, a wireless charging pad, and updated driver-assistance features. You can also get these features on the entry-level LT when you add the optional Comfort and Active Safety 2 Package.

Blazer EV

The Chevrolet Blazer is a compact, all-electric SUV. While it shares its name with its gas-powered sibling, they're very different SUVs. The Blazer EV comes in three trims - the LT, RS, and SS - and has an estimated driving range of about 334 miles. This EV comes with rear-wheel drive or AWD for added traction on slippery roads or uneven terrain. Choose from several powertrain configurations to find the right horsepower for your needs, from 220 hp to a blistering 595 hp on the AWD SS trim.

This roomy two-row SUV seats up to five people and, depending on the seating configuration, can provide up to 60 cubic feet of storage space. Chevy's infotainment system features a large 17.7-inch touch screen with Google built-in software, OnStar Connected services, and the optional Super Cruise semi-hands-free driving system.

Silverado EV

For 2025, Chevrolet presents the Silverado EV pickup truck. Truck aficionados will appreciate the maximum available torque of 785 lb-ft and a towing capacity of up to 12,500 pounds. This EV comes in two trims: the LT and RST. With the available Wide Open Watts system, this pickup truck can get up to 760 hp, has a 0-to-60 mph sprint time of 4.5 seconds, and has an estimated driving range of 460 miles.

You get a dual-motor four-wheel-drive system as standard, but with the available four-wheel-steer system, this EV will have precision handling and turning. For an even smoother ride, choose the RST trim and its optional four-corner air ride adaptive suspension system. Both trims have two rows of seats and a 5-foot-11 bed with a Multi-Flex tailgate system.

Attractive optional features include 24-inch wheels, a power-up hood for the front eTrunk, a panoramic fixed-glass sunroof, and walk-up/walk-away lighting for enhanced visibility. Chevy's infotainment system has an available 17.7-inch diagonal infotainment touch screen, an 11-inch diagonal driver information center, and a 14-inch head-up display.
