Energy Efficiency
Perhaps you've noticed an OG&E electric vehicle (EV) in a lane near you.
Our cutting edge fleet is a mix of the Nissan Leaf and the Chevrolet Volt, just two of over a dozen current EV models—all ushering in a new age of personal and business transportation.
- Volt's Internal Combustion:
The Volt is also powered by electricity, though its small internal combustion engine helps generate more electricity once the charge runs out. - Long Range:
The total driving range of the Volt is impressive, at approximately 380 miles. - Regenerative Braking:
This system captures energy while you coast or brake, and recycles it back to the power supply.
For over two decades, OG&E has helped advance electric battery research and vehicle development, including support of the Electric Vehicle Research Institute at the University of Oklahoma. And whether it's our continued investments in renewable wind and solar power, or doing our part in developing EV solutions and charging technology, we're on a journey to a cleaner Oklahoma. Together. So keep coming back to this site for updates.
The time is now to learn about the drive of tomorrow.
When it comes to electric vehicle technology, OG&E is proud to have more than 20 years invested in exploration and engineering expertise (we even told you about it on television in the '90s). But there's more to be learned daily.
