According to Electric Power Research Institute, consumers nationwide are discovering that plug-in electric vehicles are fun to drive, safe and comfortable, convenient to refuel, and economical to operate. In the United States today, global automakers offer consumers more than 40 electric car models, and many have announced plans to offer more options in coming years. 

At the U.S. national average price of 12.72 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh), “fueling” a car with electricity is roughly equivalent to buying gasoline at $1 per gallon.

Electric cars have lower greenhouse gas emissions than the average new gasoline car today, even when charged in areas where much of the electricity is generated by power plants that use coal or natural gas. Electric cars also reduce petroleum use and smog, benefiting public health.

Plug-in electric vehicles' batteries are recharged by plugging into the electricity grid, as easily as charging your phone or laptop. There are two main types, plug-in hybrids and battery electric vehicles.

Plug-in hybrids are powered by an electric motor (or two) and battery paired with a gasoline engine that takes over once the battery is depleted. Some can travel 50 miles or more on electricity before they need to be charged. Their engines extend total range to between 300 and 600 miles.

Battery electric vehicles are powered by an electric motor and battery alone, so they never use gasoline. Their total range is determined by their battery size, with most current models having a range of 200 – 400 miles.
