Learn About EV and Hybrid Vehicles.

Question: What is EV?

Answer: EV stands for electric vehicle. These automobiles employ one or more electric or traction motors for propulsion.

Question: How is EV different from a Hybrid vehicle?

Answer: Both EV and hybrid vehicles use electric mechanics, such as a chargeable battery, to power transportation. Additionally, both reduce tailpipe carbon emissions when compared to non-EV and non-hybrid engines. However, there are differences. Most notably, hybrid vehicles also utilize an internal combustion engine, which employs gasoline. The internal combustion engine works in conjunction with a chargeable electric battery to provide additional efficiency and distance capability while optimizing power.

Gasoline is not used within an EV. Instead, a battery and an electronic drive motor power the vehicle. The lack of gasoline further reduces tailpipe emissions. Both vehicles offer flexibility based on our sustainability efforts.

Question: Which is better? An EV or hybrid vehicle?

Answer: Both vehicles have their merits. Both offer exceptional returns regarding sustainability and efficiency. You also could receive tax credits when you lease or finance an EV or hybrid. Choosing between an EV and a hybrid vehicle comes down to your lifestyle needs and availability. For example, the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid is a pioneer of hybrid technology. It is our most fuel-efficient Crosstrek ever made. You get the reliability, performance, and comfort you expect from a Subaru with the incredible efficiency of a hybrid. It is the perfect marriage.

Question: What kind of EV and hybrid technology can we expect from Subaru?

Answer: Subaru is a world-leader in innovation. We support social responsibility initiatives in creating a better world. As a result, by 2030, Subaru plans for hybrid vehicles to become 40% of our global sales. By the mid-2030s, every Subaru vehicle will have an EV or hybrid version. Additionally, through joint development with Toyota, Subaru plans to release our first EV to the market before 2025.
