We hope to see you soon to help you find an eco-friendly vehicle here at Aristocrat Motors in Lee's Summit, MO. 

Hybrid vehicles come in two main forms. The first is the standard hybrid vehicle, which uses the same fuel types that you are currently used to, with more efficiency. These standard hybrid models use regenerative braking to supplement the power that your car gets from gasoline. This means that they get better fuel economy ratings than a normal car, but they still use only gasoline. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, also called PHEVs, are similar in that they use gasoline power and have more efficiency than a normal car. However, PHEVs are the steppingstone between hybrid and electric vehicles and can be put in either category. That’s because they run on gasoline and electric power. These vehicles are a great way to transition from hybrid to EV models. If your workplace offers electric vehicle charging stations, choose a PHEV and see how you like charging vs fueling.
