Hybrid & EV FAQs
Does a hybrid have more range than an EV?
Typically, hybrids boast a longer total driving range than pure electric cars, due to their combination of a combustion engine and an electric motor. Don't forget that both new Mazda hybrids and EVs come with state-of-the-art technology to help you extract maximum driving range. Ask us for more details during your Mazda CX-90 PHEV test-drive.
What kind of maintenance do hybrids require?
Hybrids, like all vehicles equipped with a gas engine, follow similar maintenance regimens as the gas-powered cars you're familiar with. EVs, by contrast, have fewer moving parts compared to traditional combustion engines. This means service requirements such as spark plug and timing belt replacements are eliminated, making them generally easier and less expensive to maintain. Connecticut EV owners will still need to book routine maintenance such as tire rotations and brake inspections, however.
Should I buy a Mazda EV?
In a word, yes! Rest assured that new Mazda electric vehicles are designed to tackle various weather conditions and provide you with reliable, long-lasting performance for years to come. Electric Mazda SUVs return optimum performance no matter whether you're enduring a sweltering summer or frigid winter, making them a top choice for local drivers.
