Volvo Plug-In Hybrid Models in Allentown, PA

A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) could be perfect if you're considering joining the electric vehicle revolution but worry about charging on the road. A PHEV bridges the gap between hybrid and electric vehicles. Instead of charging its battery solely with its gas engine and brakes, a PHEV can be plugged in to extend its electric-only range, usually between 20 and 40 miles. You don't need a special charger since it can be charged overnight from a household outlet.

Despite Volvo vehicles' minimalist design, there is no shortage of features or performance. As one of the world's leading manufacturers, Volvo produces some of the most prestigious and chic vehicles. The brand also embraces the latest hybrid and electric vehicle technologies.

Scott Volvo Cars of Allentown in Allentown, PA, is the most convenient place to start if you're interested in Volvo plug-in hybrids. Our dealership offers test drives of many plug-in hybrid Volvos, including the Volvo S90 sedan and the Volvo XC90 SUV.

Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles Are Efficient

Like standard hybrids, plug-in hybrids are more fuel-efficient than gas-powered models. Electric motors let you accelerate at low speeds. The vehicle can also coast when the engine is off. As such, you will see improved mileage when driving a plug-in hybrid compared to vehicles with combustion engines.

Plug-In Hybrids Cost Less to Maintain

Maintenance plays a key role in discussing the pros and cons of plug-in hybrid models. Additionally, plug-in hybrid models don't require separate starter motors because the electric motor handles that function. Hybrid model batteries are compact, which means they don't take up much space or require complex maintenance.

Because hybrid battery packs rarely undergo deep cycling (emptied, recharged, and drained), they are less likely to fail than electric vehicle batteries. A hybrid vehicle's battery temperatures and charging levels are relatively constant. In addition, batteries in hybrid vehicles, including inverters and computer modules, are usually covered for eight years or 100,000 miles.

Plug-In Hybrids Offer Eco-Friendly Driving Solutions

Driving a hybrid vehicle is eco-friendly. In addition to reducing your carbon footprint, Volvo hybrid vehicles offer enhanced power and comfort. Volvo has designed its electrified powertrains to be more powerful, accelerate quietly, and have smooth and responsive handling.

Plug-in hybrids produce no tailpipe emissions during electric-only operation, helping reduce overall emissions. Hybrid vehicles conserve fuel by turning off their internal combustion engines when they stop. Additionally, battery power is used for automatic climate control and audio system components.
