what is Volvo Plug in Hybrid?

Take a Look at Our Selection of Volvo Plug-In Hybrids

If you're tired of paying high gas prices or want a more environmentally-friendly vehicle but don't think a purely electric vehicle is for you, you might want to consider a plug-in hybrid vehicle from Volvo instead.

A plug-in hybrid vehicle strikes a great balance between an electric vehicle and a traditional gasoline-powered model. We have an excellent selection of new Volvo plug-in hybrids at Betten Volvo Cars in Grand Rapids. Whether you're looking for an SUV such as the XC90 Recharge or a sedan such as the S60 or S90 Recharge, we can help you find a plug-in hybrid Volvo that can help you get around Kentwood and the surrounding area.

How Plug-In Hybrids Work

A plug-in hybrid vehicle is similar to an electric vehicle in that it can run on an electric battery plugged in at home or a vehicle charging station. Most plug-in hybrids can travel shorter distances on electrical power alone, making them great for short trips around your neighborhood in Wyoming, MI. When you have to drive farther, you can switch to hybrid mode. This enables a gasoline-powered engine that works with the electric motor and battery to travel longer distances while keeping fuel consumption relatively low.

All of our Volvo plug-in hybrid models deliver a responsive drive with smooth and quiet acceleration, even when you have to switch to hybrid mode when driving farther around Grandville. You might notice a slight thrum from under your hood when switching to hybrid mode, but that's about it. You'll also be able to track your energy consumption with the Volvo Cars app.

Volvo's plug-in hybrids are a great median between gasoline-powered and electric vehicles, and we have an excellent selection of them at our dealership in Rockford, MI. Stop in today if you're interested in test-driving an S90 Recharge, a V60 Recharge, an XC60 Recharge, or any other Volvo vehicles we have available.
