The total amount of the credit is also based on the battery size of the vehicle, so some plug-in hybrid electrics may only qualify for a partial credit amount.\",\"text_color\":\"#54595f\",\"typography_typography\":\"custom\",\"typography_font_size\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"size\":16}},\"elements\":[],\"widgetType\":\"text-editor\"}],\"isInner\":false},{\"id\":\"514f0103\",\"elType\":\"column\",\"settings\":{\"_column_size\":50,\"_inline_size\":null},\"elements\":[{\"id\":\"2e23332a\",\"elType\":\"widget\",\"settings\":{\"editor\":\"<p>The credit also phases out per manufacturer after 200,000 vehicles are sold, so it\\u2019s important to verify the brand you choose to buy is still eligible.

Will it go enough miles per charge for me?\",\"tab_content\":\"<p>Yes! This is in part because there are two types of electric cars, or plug in electrified vehicles (PEVs): Battery electrics (BEVs) which run on electricity only, and plug in hybrid electrics (PHEVs) which first run on electricity from the battery for a shorter range (often the distance of a daily commute, or more), then seamlessly switch to a full tank of gasoline if the battery gets low.<\\/p><p>PHEVs therefore will always have the range you need, and can be driven and fueled just like the car you drive now. Today\\u2019s BEVs have more range than 90% of commuters and others drive daily. Some models are available in either BEV or PHEV.<\\/p><p>Most BEVs have a range of between 114 and 315 miles depending upon model. They must be recharged when the battery gets low, and can be done slowly (typically overnight at home while you sleep) or more quickly using a public fast charging station. But unlike gasoline only cars, both BEVs and PHEVs can be charged at a variety of more convenient locations. But mostly, they are <em><span style=\\\"text-decoration: underline;\\\">charged conveniently at home,<\\/span> <span style=\\\"text-decoration: underline;\\\">overnight while you sleep<\\/span><\\/em>.<\\/p><p>Today\\u2019s PHEVs a have a battery range between 14 and 114 miles, and then typically a full tank of gasoline range, 300-500+ miles. When operating in hybrid mode, they also get better gas mileage than comparable gasoline only vehicles.<\\/p><p>Therefore, which electric car you\\u2019ll want depends on how many miles you typically drive per day, what types of long trips you plan to take in your vehicle, and how much passenger and cargo space you need.

Will it go enough miles per charge for me?\",\"tab_content\":\"<p>Yes! This is in part because there are two types of electric cars, or plug in electrified vehicles (PEVs): Battery electrics (BEVs) which run on electricity only, and plug in hybrid electrics (PHEVs) which first run on electricity from the battery for a shorter range (often the distance of a daily commute, or more), then seamlessly switch to a full tank of gasoline if the battery gets low.<\\/p><p>PHEVs therefore will always have the range you need, and can be driven and fueled just like the car you drive now. Today\\u2019s BEVs have more range than 90% of commuters and others drive daily. Some models are available in either BEV or PHEV.<\\/p><p>Most BEVs have a range of between 114 and 315 miles depending upon model. They must be recharged when the battery gets low, and can be done slowly (typically overnight at home while you sleep) or more quickly using a public fast charging station. But unlike gasoline only cars, both BEVs and PHEVs can be \\u201crefueled\\u201d (charged) at a variety of locations where drivers might already be planning to drive to and park at.

When operating in hybrid mode, they also get better gas mileage than comparable gasoline only vehicles.<\\/p><p>Therefore, which electric car you\\u2019ll want depends on how many miles you typically drive per day, what types of long trips you plan to take in your vehicle, and how much passenger and cargo space you need.

Already numbering in the tens of thousands, more Workplace Charging and Opportunity Charging sites are being added every year.

It\\u2019s the best of both worlds, as you can still drive electric miles every day while take very long trips any day.<\\/li><br>\\n \\t<li>Choosing a BEV (Battery only Electric) means you\\u2019ll want to look for fast charging (also known as Level 3) along your route and\\/or overnight destination charging (such as hotels that have charging) where you\\u2019ll stay or use another family vehicle could be used or you plan your trips to look for fast chargers along the route. Today\\u2019s fast charging can add from 60 up to 180 miles of range in under 30 minutes, depending on model and station. Recently automakers are offering more and more higher range BEVs.

Will it go enough miles per charge for me?\",\"tab_content\":\"<p>Yes! This is in part because there are two types of electric cars, or plug in electrified vehicles (PEVs): Battery electrics (BEVs) which run on electricity only, and plug in hybrid electrics (PHEVs) which first run on electricity from the battery for a shorter range (often the distance of a daily commute, or more), then seamlessly switch to a full tank of gasoline if the battery gets low.<\\/p><p>PHEVs therefore will always have the range you need, and can be driven and fueled just like the car you drive now. Today\\u2019s BEVs have more range than 90% of commuters and others drive daily. Some models are available in either BEV or PHEV.<\\/p><p>Most BEVs have a range of between 114 and 315 miles depending upon model. They must be recharged when the battery gets low, and can be done slowly (typically overnight at home while you sleep) or more quickly using a public fast charging station. But unlike gasoline only cars, both BEVs and PHEVs can be \\u201crefueled\\u201d (charged) at a variety of locations where drivers might already be planning to drive to and park at. But mostly, they are <em><span style=\\\"text-decoration: underline;\\\">charged conveniently at home,<\\/span> <span style=\\\"text-decoration: underline;\\\">overnight while you sleep<\\/span><\\/em>.<\\/p><p>Today\\u2019s PHEVs a have a battery range between 14 and 114 miles, and then typically a full tank of gasoline range, 300-500+ miles. When operating in hybrid mode, they also get better gas mileage than comparable gasoline only vehicles.<\\/p><p>Therefore, which electric car you\\u2019ll want depends on how many miles you typically drive per day, what types of long trips you plan to take in your vehicle, and how much passenger and cargo space you need. Answering these three personal questions before car shopping will also lead you to the electric models that best fit your lifestyle and needs.

Because most charging (over 85%, according to EV driver polling) happens at home, overnight, while the driver sleeps.

Since most people are at work for 7 or more hours, the time to charge is not a concern. The third most common charging happens at a place you can catch an \\u201cOpportunity Charge\\u201d: Typically, a shopping area, restaurant, or recreation destination where you\\u2019d already planned to visit for one or more hours. Already numbering in the tens of thousands, more Workplace Charging and Opportunity Charging sites are being added every year. These are usually what\\u2019s known as Level 2 charging sites which add 12 to 70 miles of range per hour, depending upon the vehicle and station type.\\n\\nFinally, there are two options for taking your electric car on longer trips.\\n<ul>\\n \\t<li style=\\\"list-style-type: none\\\">\\n<ul>\\n \\t<li>Choosing a PHEV (Plug in Hybrid Electric) means you can drive and refuel on any trip just as you do now, conveniently at the next gas station rest stop. But you can still charge up as well, whenever it\\u2019s convenient to do so. It\\u2019s the best of both worlds, as you can still drive electric miles every day while take very long trips any day.<\\/li>\\n<\\/ul>\\n<\\/li>\\n<\\/ul>\\n&nbsp;\\n<ul>\\n \\t<li>Choosing a BEV (Battery only Electric) means you\\u2019ll want to look for fast charging (also known as Level 3) along your route and\\/or overnight destination charging (such as hotels that have charging) where you\\u2019ll stay or use another family vehicle could be used or you plan your trips to look for fast chargers along the route. Today\\u2019s fast charging can add from 60 up to 180 miles of range in under 30 minutes, depending on model and station. Recently automakers are offering more and more higher range BEVs. Thousands of fast chargers and destination chargers are being added every year, and the next generation of fast charging coming in just a few years will add twice the range in half the time!

Will it go enough miles per charge for me?\",\"tab_content\":\"<p>Yes! This is in part because there are two types of electric cars, or plug in electrified vehicles (PEVs): Battery electrics (BEVs) which run on electricity only, and plug in hybrid electrics (PHEVs) which first run on electricity from the battery for a shorter range (often the distance of a daily commute, or more), then seamlessly switch to a full tank of gasoline if the battery gets low.<\\/p><p>PHEVs therefore will always have the range you need, and can be driven and fueled just like the car you drive now. Today\\u2019s BEVs have more range than 90% of commuters and others drive daily. Some models are available in either BEV or PHEV.<\\/p><p>Most BEVs have a range of between 114 and 315 miles depending upon model. They must be recharged when the battery gets low, and can be done slowly (typically overnight at home while you sleep) or more quickly using a public fast charging station. But unlike gasoline only cars, both BEVs and PHEVs can be \\u201crefueled\\u201d (charged) at a variety of locations where drivers might already be planning to drive to and park at. But mostly, they are <em><span style=\\\"text-decoration: underline;\\\">charged conveniently at home,<\\/span> <span style=\\\"text-decoration: underline;\\\">overnight while you sleep<\\/span><\\/em>.<\\/p><p>Today\\u2019s PHEVs a have a battery range between 14 and 114 miles, and then typically a full tank of gasoline range, 300-500+ miles. When operating in hybrid mode, they also get better gas mileage than comparable gasoline only vehicles.<\\/p><p>Therefore, which electric car you\\u2019ll want depends on how many miles you typically drive per day, what types of long trips you plan to take in your vehicle, and how much passenger and cargo space you need.

Today\\u2019s fast charging can add from 60 up to 180 miles of range in under 30 minutes, depending on model and station. Recently automakers are offering more and more higher range BEVs.

Will it go enough miles per charge for me?\",\"tab_content\":\"<p>Yes! This is in part because there are two types of electric cars, or plug in electrified vehicles (PEVs): Battery electrics (BEVs) which run on electricity only, and plug in hybrid electrics (PHEVs) which first run on electricity from the battery for a shorter range (often the distance of a daily commute, or more), then seamlessly switch to a full tank of gasoline if the battery gets low.<\\/p><p>PHEVs therefore will always have the range you need, and can be driven and fueled just like the car you drive now. Today\\u2019s BEVs have more range than 90% of commuters and others drive daily. Some models are available in either BEV or PHEV.<\\/p><p>Most BEVs have a range of between 114 and 315 miles depending upon model. They must be recharged when the battery gets low, and can be done slowly (typically overnight at home while you sleep) or more quickly using a public fast charging station. But unlike gasoline only cars, both BEVs and PHEVs can be \\u201crefueled\\u201d (charged) at a variety of locations where drivers might already be planning to drive to and park at.

Will it go enough miles per charge for me?\",\"tab_content\":\"<p>Yes! This is in part because there are two types of electric cars, or plug in electrified vehicles (PEVs): Battery electrics (BEVs) which run on electricity only, and plug in hybrid electrics (PHEVs) which first run on electricity from the battery for a shorter range (often the distance of a daily commute, or more), then seamlessly switch to a full tank of gasoline if the battery gets low.<\\/p><p>PHEVs therefore will always have the range you need, and can be driven and fueled just like the car you drive now. Today\\u2019s BEVs have more range than 90% of commuters and others drive daily. Some models are available in either BEV or PHEV.<\\/p><p>Most BEVs have a range of between 114 and 315 miles depending upon model. They must be recharged when the battery gets low, and can be done slowly (typically overnight at home while you sleep) or more quickly using a public fast charging station. But unlike gasoline only cars, both BEVs and PHEVs can be \\u201crefueled\\u201d (charged) at a variety of locations where drivers might already be planning to drive to and park at.

Today\\u2019s fast charging can add from 60 up to 180 miles of range in under 30 minutes, depending on model and station. Recently automakers are offering more and more higher range BEVs.

Will it go enough miles per charge for me?\",\"tab_content\":\"<p>Yes! This is in part because there are two types of electric cars, or plug in electrified vehicles (PEVs): Battery electrics (BEVs) which run on electricity only, and plug in hybrid electrics (PHEVs) which first run on electricity from the battery for a shorter range (often the distance of a daily commute, or more), then seamlessly switch to a full tank of gasoline if the battery gets low.<\\/p><p>PHEVs therefore will always have the range you need, and can be driven and fueled just like the car you drive now. Today\\u2019s BEVs have more range than 90% of commuters and others drive daily. Some models are available in either BEV or PHEV.<\\/p><p>Most BEVs have a range of between 114 and 315 miles depending upon model. They must be recharged when the battery gets low, and can be done slowly (typically overnight at home while you sleep) or more quickly using a public fast charging station. But unlike gasoline only cars, both BEVs and PHEVs can be \\u201crefueled\\u201d (charged) at a variety of locations where drivers might already be planning to drive to and park at. But mostly, they are <em><span style=\\\"text-decoration: underline;\\\">charged conveniently at home,<\\/span> <span style=\\\"text-decoration: underline;\\\">overnight while you sleep<\\/span><\\/em>.<\\/p><p>Today\\u2019s PHEVs a have a battery range between 14 and 114 miles, and then typically a full tank of gasoline range, 300-500+ miles. When operating in hybrid mode, they also get better gas mileage than comparable gasoline only vehicles.<\\/p><p>Therefore, which electric car you\\u2019ll want depends on how many miles you typically drive per day, what types of long trips you plan to take in your vehicle, and how much passenger and cargo space you need. Answering these three personal questions before car shopping will also lead you to the electric models that best fit your lifestyle and needs.

Because most charging (over 85%, according to EV driver polling) happens at home, overnight, while the driver sleeps.

Already numbering in the tens of thousands, more Workplace Charging and Opportunity Charging sites are being added every year.

But you can still charge up as well, whenever it\\u2019s convenient to do so. It\\u2019s the best of both worlds, as you can still drive electric miles every day while take very long trips any day.<br><\\/li>\\n<li>Choosing a BEV (Battery only Electric) means you\\u2019ll want to look for fast charging (also known as Level 3) along your route and\\/or overnight destination charging (such as hotels that have charging) where you\\u2019ll stay or use another family vehicle could be used or you plan your trips to look for fast chargers along the route. Today\\u2019s fast charging can add from 60 up to 180 miles of range in under 30 minutes, depending on model and station. Recently automakers are offering more and more higher range BEVs. Thousands of fast chargers and destination chargers are being added every year, and the next generation of fast charging coming in just a few years will add twice the range in half the time!

Since most people are at work for 7 or more hours, the time to charge is not a concern. The third most common charging happens at a place you can catch an \\u201cOpportunity Charge\\u201d: Typically, a shopping area, restaurant, or recreation destination where you\\u2019d already planned to visit for one or more hours. Already numbering in the tens of thousands, more Workplace Charging and Opportunity Charging sites are being added every year. These are usually what\\u2019s known as Level 2 charging sites which add 12 to 70 miles of range per hour, depending upon the vehicle and station type.<\\/p>\\n<p>Finally, there are two options for taking your electric car on longer trips.<\\/p>\\n\\n<ul>\\n<li>Choosing a PHEV (Plug in Hybrid Electric) means you can drive and refuel on any trip just as you do now, conveniently at the next gas station rest stop. But you can still charge up as well, whenever it\\u2019s convenient to do so. It\\u2019s the best of both worlds, as you can still drive electric miles every day while take very long trips any day.<br><\\/li>\\n<li>Choosing a BEV (Battery only Electric) means you\\u2019ll want to look for fast charging (also known as Level 3) along your route and\\/or overnight destination charging (such as hotels that have charging) where you\\u2019ll stay or use another family vehicle could be used or you plan your trips to look for fast chargers along the route. Today\\u2019s fast charging can add from 60 up to 180 miles of range in under 30 minutes, depending on model and station. Recently automakers are offering more and more higher range BEVs. Thousands of fast chargers and destination chargers are being added every year, and the next generation of fast charging coming in just a few years will add twice the range in half the time!

Will it go enough miles per charge for me?\",\"tab_content\":\"<p>Yes! This is in part because there are two types of electric cars, or plug in electrified vehicles (PEVs): Battery electrics (BEVs) which run on electricity only, and plug in hybrid electrics (PHEVs) which first run on electricity from the battery for a shorter range (often the distance of a daily commute, or more), then seamlessly switch to a full tank of gasoline if the battery gets low.<\\/p><p>PHEVs therefore will always have the range you need, and can be driven and fueled just like the car you drive now. Today\\u2019s BEVs have more range than 90% of commuters and others drive daily. Some models are available in either BEV or PHEV.<\\/p><p>Most BEVs have a range of between 114 and 315 miles depending upon model. They must be recharged when the battery gets low, and can be done slowly (typically overnight at home while you sleep) or more quickly using a public fast charging station. But unlike gasoline only cars, both BEVs and PHEVs can be \\u201crefueled\\u201d (charged) at a variety of locations where drivers might already be planning to drive to and park at. But mostly, they are <em><span style=\\\"text-decoration: underline;\\\">charged conveniently at home,<\\/span> <span style=\\\"text-decoration: underline;\\\">overnight while you sleep<\\/span><\\/em>.<\\/p><p>Today\\u2019s PHEVs a have a battery range between 14 and 114 miles, and then typically a full tank of gasoline range, 300-500+ miles. When operating in hybrid mode, they also get better gas mileage than comparable gasoline only vehicles.<\\/p><p>Therefore, which electric car you\\u2019ll want depends on how many miles you typically drive per day, what types of long trips you plan to take in your vehicle, and how much passenger and cargo space you need. Answering these three personal questions before car shopping will also lead you to the electric models that best fit your lifestyle and needs.

Today\\u2019s fast charging can add from 60 up to 180 miles of range in under 30 minutes, depending on model and station. Recently automakers are offering more and more higher range BEVs.

Will it go enough miles per charge for me?\",\"tab_content\":\"<p>Yes! This is in part because there are two types of electric cars, or plug in electrified vehicles (PEVs): Battery electrics (BEVs) which run on electricity only, and plug in hybrid electrics (PHEVs) which first run on electricity from the battery for a shorter range (often the distance of a daily commute, or more), then seamlessly switch to a full tank of gasoline if the battery gets low.<\\/p><p>PHEVs therefore will always have the range you need, and can be driven and fueled just like the car you drive now. Today\\u2019s BEVs have more range than 90% of commuters and others drive daily. Some models are available in either BEV or PHEV.<\\/p><p>Most BEVs have a range of between 114 and 315 miles depending upon model. They must be recharged when the battery gets low, and can be done slowly (typically overnight at home while you sleep) or more quickly using a public fast charging station. But unlike gasoline only cars, both BEVs and PHEVs can be \\u201crefueled\\u201d (charged) at a variety of locations where drivers might already be planning to drive to and park at.

Today\\u2019s fast charging can add from 60 up to 180 miles of range in under 30 minutes, depending on model and station. Recently automakers are offering more and more higher range BEVs.
