Electric Vehicles at Quantrell Auto Group
Discover the Future of Driving
From fully electric SUVs to plug-in hybrids, explore our lineup of electrified vehicles from Cadillac, Subaru, and Volvo.
Electric vehicles are still newcomers in the automotive market, and drivers have many questions about how these battery-powered models can perform. At Quantrell Auto Group, we care about more than moving cars: We're here to educate our consumers so they can make the best choice for their needs.
Whether you're considering a fully electric vehicle, a plug-in hybrid, or a traditional hybrid with electric assist, understanding the differences is the first step toward making the right decision for your lifestyle and driving habits.
The Three Types of Electric Vehicles
Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs)
Fully electric with no gasoline engine whatsoever. BEVs eliminate the need for oil changes, spark plugs, and exhaust systems entirely. They use regenerative braking to recapture energy, extending your range with every stop.
Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles (PHEVs)
The best of both worlds — a gas engine paired with an electric battery. PHEVs can be refueled at the gas pump and recharged at a charging station, giving you maximum flexibility for both short commutes and long road trips.
Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs)
Gas-powered vehicles with an electric motor assist. The battery charges itself through regenerative braking and the engine — no plug-in needed. HEVs offer improved fuel economy without changing your refueling habits.
Quick Comparison
BEV
100% electric, zero emissions, lowest maintenance costs
PHEV
Gas + electric combo, plug-in charging, maximum flexibility
HEV
Self-charging hybrid, no plug needed, improved fuel economy
Benefits of Electric Vehicles
Driving electric means more than just fuel savings — it's a smarter, cleaner, and more enjoyable way to drive.
Types of Electric Vehicle Charging
Understanding how to charge your EV is simpler than you might think. There are three levels of charging, each suited to different situations:
Level 1 Charging — Home Chargers
Using a standard 120V AC household outlet, Level 1 chargers are the most accessible option. They're ideal for PHEVs, which can fully charge overnight. Simply plug in when you get home.
Level 2 Charging — Faster Home & Public Stations
Operating at 240V AC, Level 2 chargers can take your battery from 0 to 80% in 4 to 10 hours. These are commonly found at public charging stations, workplaces, and can be installed at home with a dedicated circuit.
Level 3 Charging — DC Fast Charging
The fastest option at 480V, DC fast chargers can bring your battery from 10 to 80% in just 30 to 40 minutes. Perfect for road trips and quick top-ups, these stations are increasingly available along major highways and in urban areas.
