Toyota Prius: Why Electric is the Way to Go
December 07 2020, Kentville Toyota
If you are yet to join the electrified automotive revolution that is steadily getting underway, have no fear. It’s understandable. It’s hard to make the leap to all-electric when you are unsure of how it will affect your life. A better option is first to go hybrid and enjoy the best of both worlds. That’s where the Toyota Prius comes in.
Toyota Prius Hybrid: Best of Both Worlds
In Nova Scotia, knowing if your home is already able to host an all-electric car, or if you might need certain upgrades or minor changes to become ready, is enough to put people off. A Toyota Prius Hybrid gives you many benefits of electric driving, but without any need to change your habits. When you’re driving in town at lower speeds, hitting heavy traffic (and ordinarily guzzling gas), the Prius’ electric motor will kick in and you’ll travel without using a bit of gas.
As you speed up, the gas engine automatically kicks in, and recharges the electric components as it works. You fill it up like a regular car, and there’s no need for any at-home plug-in infrastructure. It’s the best of both worlds.
Save Money in Style
The latest Prius features a sleeker sedan build that’s fun to drive and has a comfortable and well-built interior. Better yet, even the all-wheel drive models of the Prius can manage as little as 4.5L/100km fuel consumption in the city, and 4.9L on the highway. There are 4 models to choose from, each offering a unique package of styling and upgrade options, but all bringing the same innovative Toyota touch to the driving experience.
Better yet, the Toyota Prius shows us that electric is the way by also being among the most affordable electric models on the market. It’s the perfect way to start that shift from old-world gasoline and diesel to all-electric. Let Prius show you the way.
