If you’re interested in an energy-efficient set of wheels but aren’t ready for an all-electric vehicle, a hybrid that runs on both gasoline and electric power is a great option. Knowing you’ve got gasoline to fall back on eliminates the range anxiety that some drivers have when piloting an all-electric vehicle. But you’ll still enjoy considerably lower fuel costs and the satisfaction of being environmentally friendly. Our local Ford dealership in Cumberland, WI has a terrific lineup of hybrid options.
