Case Study: Electric Cars

The hybrid vehicle; the future of the automotive industry. People say it is the industry going green, the saving of the environment. Mostly because the hybrid pollutes much less than the normal all gasoline and diesel engines. People can get very sick from all the carbon dioxide from the exhaust gases that come from the car. But when you put together both the electric motor and the gasoline motor then you have less pollution.

While the batteries in electric cars do not last long, electric cars are better than gasoline cars, they do not need gasoline to operate and do not pollute the earths air, which saves money and time that would normally be spent in refueling. Thus, the car can be charged while not in use. While some researchers claim that gasoline cars are more beneficial than electric cars, my research suggests that electric car pros outweigh the cons. Ultimately, then my goal is to demonstrate that electric cars will eliminate the use of gasoline cars in the near future. I will first explain how electric cars can save you

Hybrids do not use as much gas as the ol... ... middle of paper ... ...o an electric outlet to recharge the vehicle while it is parked. One great thing about this hybrid is the ability to travel in all electric mode for most short trips. This conserves the gas in the gasoline engine for longer drives. This feature helps boost fuel economy into 100 mpg territory. Not only is the Volt a plug-in hybrid, but so are the Ford Fusion Energi, Toyota Prius, and Honda Accord.

Hybrids release fewer and cleaner wastes, resulting in smaller pollution levels. Hybrids are helping to reduce the effects emission that we are having with oil, reducing smog and protecting the earth 's ozone layer. Hybrid cars run on twin powered engine that cuts fuel consumption and conserves energy down to an tremendous amount. Hybrid vehicles can be a cleaner option that most fuel efficient gasoline engine cars since it have a small engine being assisted by the small electrical motor to reduce the amount of CO-2 being released into our atmosphere. Eco-friendly cars are also beneficial because they produce much lower levels of emissions than other vehicles.

Not only can they help the environment with the decrease of pollution, but they are also very small and don’t need fuel to run. People may question how exactly this can improve the fuel economy, but besides the fact that the hybrid cars are much smaller then gasoline powered cars and don’t need fuel to work, there are many other fuel efficient factors that make hybrid cars better for the economy. There are frequently asked questions about hybrid cars such as how do they work?, what different type... ... middle of paper ... ...ficient. When purchasing a hybrid car, there are two different types you can choose from. One being a parallel hybrid and the other being a series hybrid.

The gasoline is non-recyclable and batteries are recyclable, which is another big advantage of hybrid electric vehicle as compared to conventional cars. The smaller size of hybrid electric vehicle improves fuel efficiency. Lesser oil is consumed and low maintenance is needed in order to run HEVs perfectly. Following fig 1.6 will show the difference of hybrid electric vehicle and conventional vehicle in term of fuel cost. According to my finding listed in this report, I highly recommend the proposal of new generation car or hybrid electric vehicle.

The hybrid electric car will be able to use fossil fuels better and make them last longer. With a hybrid electric vehicle the vehicle gets better gas mileage than a typical gasoline fed engine. In doing this a hybrid vehicle will make the resources last longer and will not use them up as fast as they are now. The reductions that the hybrid electric vehicle will make in the emissions problem will be one that is looked upon as a revolution towards helping the planet. As a human it is our right to live in a sustainable environment and with the production of this car maybe in the future the air will be sustainable and not cause any problems.

Kevin Baloyra Ms. Jacomino English 9 4/10/14 The Benefits of Electric Cars Electric cars were recently introduced to the auto world. They are very fuel efficient while still having all the practicalities of a regular car. They are quiet and have zero emissions. They also are cheaper to maintain and cheaper to own then a gas powered car. Even though car enthusiasts dislike the idea of going fully electric, it is a very conscientious choice.

The hybrid still maintains dependence on gasoline. The all-electric version needs a clean grid to be considered eco-friendly. The hydrogen is a out of reach price wise and there aren’t many of hydrogen stations now. But for now, the all-electric car is the best alternative to a gasoline powered automobile if you want a practical, effective and a cost reasonable vehicle.

Drivers of electric cars are afraid or anxious about their cars; batteries depleting before reaching their destinations. However, the gasoline engine that serves as a backup gives the plug-in hybrid car a similar driving range as a normal gasoline-powered automobile. Plug-in hybrids re emission free when in electric mode and therefore, they help in addressing emissions associated with gasoline cars (Westbrook, 2001). They reduce air pollution within cities and reliance on gasoline. In turn, plug-in hybrids minimize greenhouse gas emissions that accelerate global warming.
