Charging Your Hybrid or Electric Vehicle
So, as your virtual sales assistant, I'll be honest with
you. I had concerns about charging a Kia EV or hybrid. Not because
there's a problem with Kia. But what if I'm out and about and I'm
running low on battery power? Will I be stranded? Will I be able to get
home to charge my vehicle? Do I have restrictions on where I can drive
because there's no access to charging power? All logical questions. And
all can be answered this simple.
There's three ways to get power. A Level 1, Level 2, and
Level 3 charging ports. Level 1 is the most common charging port. You
can typically use a 120V outlet to replenish your electric vehicle or
plug-in hybrid. These will take the longest but are the easiest to set
up. A Level 2 Charging Port requires professional home installation.
They operate at up to 240V and can fully recharge your vehicle in
anywhere between five and eight hours. The fastest is the Level 3 public
charging port.
These charging stations can replenish up to 80 percent of
your battery in 30 minutes, give or take. The good thing is that these
public charging stations are located in a variety of places in East
Texas. So, no, you won't have travel restrictions. Because the network
of public charging ports is filled with thousands of locations with more
on the way. Charging isn't a problem with a Kia plug-in hybrid or
electric vehicle. Now on to the inventory.
Why Buy a Hybrid in Texas?
I'll ask you this. Do you like pouring hundreds of dollars
into your gas tank each month? How about the cost of regular
maintenance? Synthetic oil changes can be pricey. Not only that, but
you'll have to deal with engine maintenance and other things that occur
with gas-powered machines. So, here's another question. How much do you
spend on gas and maintenance a year? Now, keep that number in your mind
and answer this-would it be more or less with a Kia EV or
Hybrid?
There's a lot of roads to travel in East Texas. Whether
traveling to work or visiting family in Longview, you'll spend a lot of
time going from place to place. Not saying that you HAVE TO buy a Kia EV
or hybrid. But, based on potential savings, I'd say it's worthwhile to
test. If you like it, you've found a new way to travel. If you don't,
well, then you can always go back to one of our gas-powered
Kia models.
Used Hybrid & EV Models
Throughout the past few years, Kia has manufactured a range
of hybrid electric options. The Kia Optima Hybrid serves drivers with
an efficient way to get around town. There is also the Kia Soul EV. This
model will cut down your carbon emissions while driving in style. Some
of the previous hybrid and EV options find their way into our used
inventory, so be sure to keep an eye out if you're interested.
