At Southern Chester County Electric, we’re seeing more and more customers opting for hybrid vehicles—and for good reason! Hybrid vehicles offer a practical solution for those who want to enjoy the benefits of electric power without the worry of running out of charge on long trips. Unlike fully electric vehicles, hybrids combine electric power with a gasoline engine, giving drivers peace of mind during long-distance travel.

Recently, we installed a 240V, 20-amp electric vehicle charger for a Volvo hybrid in Landenberg, Pennsylvania. With this setup, our customer can charge their vehicle at home, minimizing trips to the gas station while enjoying lower electricity costs compared to an all-electric vehicle. Although hybrid vehicles do use some gas, the cost savings from not solely relying on electricity make them a smart choice for many.

If you’re thinking about making the switch to a hybrid vehicle or need a charger installed, Southern Chester County Electric is here to help with expert installations and advice tailored to your needs.
