About MINI Hybrid Vehicles
MINI hybrid like the MINI Countryman Hybrid provides the familiar punchy experience motorists expect from a MINI automobile.
MINI hybrids are actually plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, which are popularly known as PHEVs. The battery packs in these vehicles source electricity from their regenerative brakes and external power sources like a household outlet or one of the nation’s more than 19,000 public charging stations.
A MINI PHEV can travel a short distance using electricity alone. When necessary or at times when you simply want more power, a PHEV will engage its combustion engine for some extra oomph.
How PHEVs Reward Their Owners
As you look through the latest MINI models at our location, knowing that you’ll enjoy the same driving experience in a PHEV that you would in a gas-only model might be all the motivation you need to go green. If you need an added incentive, you should know that PHEVs are better for the environment compared to traditional automobiles.
While PHEVs still consume gas, they use fuel more efficiently and they consume less of it. As a result, they release fewer harmful emissions into the atmosphere. Naturally, a PHEV will lower your fuel costs since they need less gas and can cover short distances without using a drop of fuel in some cases.
Shrinking the size of your carbon footprint and lowering your fuel costs aren’t the only ways a PHEV can reward you. By purchasing a MINI PHEV, you might be eligible for a federal tax credit of up to $7,500 in the year you purchase your eco-friendly vehicle.
