Hybrid and Electric Vehicles at Threeways Garage
Hybrid and electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly popular as drivers look for ways to reduce running costs, lower emissions, and enjoy a smoother, quieter driving experience. At Threeways Garage, we offer a growing selection of hybrid and electric models designed to suit every lifestyle—whether you’re looking for improved fuel efficiency, lower tax costs, or the latest zero-emission technology.
As a trusted Hyundai, Fiat, Suzuki, MG and Isuzu dealership in Abergele in North Wales, we’re here to help our customers understand the differences between hybrid and electric powertrains so you can make the right decision for your daily driving needs.
Why Choose a Hybrid or Electric Vehicle?
Reduce Emissions and Running Costs
Hybrid and electric cars offer significant savings compared with traditional petrol or diesel models. EVs require less routine maintenance, and drivers benefit from lower electricity costs compared with fuel. Hybrids, meanwhile, combine electric power with a traditional engine to maximise efficiency during everyday journeys.
Quiet, Refined and Modern Driving Experience
Electric motors deliver instant torque, smooth acceleration, and near-silent operation. Hybrid vehicles automatically switch between electric and petrol power for a seamless, efficient drive.
Lower Road Tax and Government Incentives
Drivers looking to reduce their annual running costs can benefit from lower Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) rates for low-emission vehicles. EV owners also enjoy reduced congestion zone fees in some areas.
Types of Electrified Vehicles Explained
Mild Hybrid (MHEV)
A mild hybrid uses a small electric motor to support the engine under acceleration. It cannot drive on electric power alone but improves efficiency without changing how you drive.
Self-Charging Hybrid (HEV)
These cars automatically charge their battery using the engine and regenerative braking. They can run short distances on electric power alone, particularly in towns and cities.
Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV)
PHEVs offer the best of both worlds—long electric-only ranges and a petrol engine for longer journeys. They are ideal for drivers with access to home or workplace charging.
Fully Electric Vehicles (EVs)
Powered 100% by electricity, EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions and offer quiet, responsive performance. They are perfect for drivers looking to eliminate fuel costs entirely.
