GMC ELECTRIC VEHICLE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1) I know EV means "Electric Vehicle", but what do PHEV, HEV, BEV, ZEV, and ICE mean?

Understanding the terminology is the first step in going electric. Here is a breakdown of common acronyms:

• PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle): Combines a gas engine and an electric motor. PHEVs cater to individuals seeking to transition away from traditional gas and diesel cars, but who may not be ready to embrace a fully electric one.
• HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle): Features both a gas engine and a battery, but they do not require plugging in for charging. HEV drivers often hear the gas engine running while the battery is replenished through regenerative braking. When the brake pedal is pressed, the electric motor reverses to function as a generator, charging the battery.
• BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle): A 100% all-electric vehicle that relies solely on battery power.
• ZEV (Zero Emission Vehicle): Any vehicle that emits no harmful pollutants from its exhaust pipe is considered a ZEV. BEVs exemplify ZEVs by emitting no emissions.
• ICE (Internal Combustion Engine): Refers to conventional gas-powered vehicles.

2) Are GMC electric vehicles more expensive than gas engine vehicles?
