When it comes to power, there are four basic kinds of vehicles currently on the market, each with its own unique advantages to fit different lifestyles.
,

INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE (ICE)

Most automobiles use gasoline to power an internal combustion engine. They’re usually the least expensive to buy, but they can be more expensive to maintain and to fuel. ICE powertrains also create more tailpipe emissions than hybrid or electric vehicles.

HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE (HEV)

HEVs use both gasoline and electric power. With help from a gasoline engine and regenerative braking, the battery stays charged up while driving. Hybrids get better fuel economy than gasoline-only vehicles, but they don’t operate on electricity alone.

PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE (PHEV)

PHEVs combine the best from all powertrains. They operate like HEVs but let you plug in and can run purely on electricity. A fully charged Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid gets up to a 32-mile all-electric driving range before switching to gasoline, helping achieve better range and efficiency than a regular gas-only vehicle.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV)

EVs have larger batteries than HEVs and drive without any gasoline or tailpipe emissions. They usually cost less to power and maintain due to relatively high gasoline prices and fewer components under the hood. Charging can take some time, so plan routes ahead of travel and charge along the way.

DO MORE WITH ELECTRICITY

Plug-in hybrid vehicles are dynamic, giving you different ways to navigate your world. And it all starts with range. The Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid minivan has two ways to measure range. It has up to a 32-mile all-electric range for quick errands and up to an impressive 520-mile total range for longer treks. Total range means the combined distance you can travel using a full tank of gasoline and a fully charged battery. Like we said, you have options.

UNDERSTANDING EFFICIENCY

Fuel efficiency is measured differently for vehicles running on non-liquid fuels like battery power. MPGe, or miles per gallon equivalent, compares the amount of energy a gasoline-only vehicle uses to travel 1 mile with the amount of energy an electric vehicle uses to travel the same distance.

FOR EXAMPLE, 1 GALLON OF GASOLINE IS EQUIVALENT TO 33.7 KILOWATT-HOURS OF ELECTRICITY.

THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA PLUG-IN HYBRID HAS AN MANUFACTURER ESTIMATED 82 MILES PER GALLON EQUIVALENT RATING.

82 MPGE MEANS THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA PLUG-IN HYBRID USES 33.7 KILOWATT-HOURS OF ELECTRICITY TO TRAVEL 82 MILES.
