    FAQ

    Is there a large SUV that is fuel efficient that isn’t an EV?

    Yes! Palisade and Santa Fe SUVs can fit up to seven or eight people — depending on the model you get. They’re not as fuel-efficient as all-electric vehicles. But they do offer decent fuel economy.

    What is the average fuel efficiency of a vehicle?

    Based on the Department of Energy’s statistics, cars in the U.S. have an average of 24.4 mpg. Note that this varies widely, depending on make, model, and other factors.

    Are hybrid cars fuel efficient?

    Yes! While not as efficient as electric, hybrid vehicles have better efficiency compared to those that only run on gas. Hybrids can switch from electric to gas as needed, lowering the amount of fuel you use.

    Do cars become less fuel efficient the older they get?

    Yes. Cars can begin losing their efficiency as they age — resulting in decreased gas mileage. Trading an older one in for a newer model means you get better fuel economy.
