Did you know that in the 1800s, people used a rough cloth and water to brush their teeth? But, when the toothbrush/toothpaste combination was invented, people shifted to the better way to maintain dental hygiene. Sure, some people were probably stuck in their ways and continued with the rough cloth and water. But, after a while, they understood that the new invention was better, and they made the transition. Now, let us ask you this—would you rather be Fled Flintstone or George Jetson? It’s all about accepting the advances of technology and making your life more convenient in Burlingame and San Francisco.
It’s Designed for Your Convenience
If you picked Fred Flintstone, we’d suggest you invest in a great foot massager and premium foot care merchandise—because your feet will be your brakes and torque during your commute. But, if you picked George Jetson, then get ready for an easier way to travel. George Jetson didn’t use his feet to power his car—he took advantage of his world’s technological advances to make his life easier.
We know that you love your current gas-guzzling powerhouse V6 or V8 engine. It’s all you’ve ever known over your lifetime, so we get your infatuation. But, let us pose another question—do you love filling up your tank with $60-$80 of your hard-earned cash every week? Do you love going into the repair shop for pricey, synthetic oil changes and engine maintenance? Because that’s all a part of the deal with your gas-powered friend. But you’re not Fred Flintstone, so you’re looking to make your commute easier. Right? Right.
The Hybrid Option
Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (EVs) are slowly moving to the forefront of the automobile industry in the Bay Area. More and more, you’ll begin to see these futuristically designed vehicles that come with everything—except a fuel tank. So, that’s everything except tossing hundreds of dollars into your gas tank every month and costly maintenance repairs throughout the year. And what will it be replaced with?
Increased traveling efficiency, fewer maintenance worries, and thousands of dollars in tax incentives just for purchasing a hybrid or EV. Yes. We’re talking about traveling 300 miles or more on one charge or gas/electricity combination of a Hybrid vehicle. You can travel from Redwood City to San Mateo without stopping for gas or recharging your vehicle. That’s efficiency. And, since your engine won’t require oil changes or regular gas-engine maintenance, that’s less money you’ll spend when it’s time for your vehicle’s checkups. And money—yes, you’ll receive real tax incentives that can equal a few thousand dollars or more but contact your local tax specialist for details.
What Kinds of Hybrid or EVs Can I get?
Anything you can get as a gas-powered vehicle can be found as an EV or hybrid. Trucks, SUVs, sedans, coupes, and hatchbacks are available in alternative fuel models. And here at Volvo of Burlingame, we’ve got just the thing for you and your family. The Volvo C40 is a pure electric cross SUV, our XC90 Recharge Plug-in Hybrid is a mid-sized SUV, the Volvo S90 Recharge Plug-In Hybrid is our sedan model, and there’s so much more to offer.
You don’t have to be stuck in your ways—you can create a new and better way to travel with a Volvo hybrid or EV in the Bay Area. We’ve got the inventory you’d want to make your driving experience more convenient, comfortable, and entertaining for you and your entire family. Unless, of course, you love stopping your car with your feet—or dumping hundreds of dollars a month into your gas tank. If so, then, by all means, continue doing what you’re doing. But, when you’re ready for a charge, give us a ring. We’d love to show you around.
