Dilawri offers a broad range of all-electric (EV), hybrid (HEV), and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) standard and luxury vehicles across its extensive network of 80 franchised dealerships, which represent 37 brands in Canada and the US. As public infrastructure expands to meet the needs of the growing population of electric-vehicle owners, and range per charge continues to grow (currently, the majority of electric vehicles can travel between 200 and 500 km on a single charge), these low- and zero-emission vehicles are increasingly popular choice.
