Hybrid Cars

This new car that they have invented gets much better gas mileage than the older diesel engines that were in old trucks and cars. Vehicles in this day and time are nothing like what they used to be. Over half of the car manufacturers are now trying to build new cars and trucks to be as fuel efficient as they can be. Although hybrids conserve more gas than standard vehicles do, they use gas, also. 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.

Each year a regular car emits six tons of dioxide in the atmosphere, about three times the vehicle weight. With Hybrid cars the U.S can reduce the amount of pollution going to the atmosphere by a lot. People in the U.S should buy more hybrid cars for a better and cleaner environment. Hybrid cars are give less pollution, use less gas, and have a lot of benefits. People can save a lot of money with Hybrid cars because they use less gas.

The emissions which are carbon-based are the number one cause of global warming. A hybrid car can emit 25 to 90 percent less emission than a gasoline engine car. Hybrids create low levels of gas fumes from the exhaustion... ... middle of paper ... ...se of the electric system in the car. A lot of car buyers cannot afford the extra $5,000 to 10,000 to buy a car that may or may not save you money with better fuel efficiency. Most people today cannot save enough money to purchase a hybrid car.

Hybrid Car: Honda Insight and Toyota Prius Gasoline price is rising and we do not know how many times it would rise. We do not want your car cost you $25 or $30 each time you pull it to the gas station. Hybrid car is a solution to solve this problem; it combines two or more sources of power. A typical of hybrid car combines a gasoline motor and an electric motor. A special feature for a hybrid car is that we do not need long extension cords to charge the battery.

Electric cars can start at 20,000 dollars and increase as you move up to nicer companies. Most people see the 20,000 dollars and don't consider the amount of money saved on gas. The money saved is definitely a factor to consider if you decide to buy a new car. The Hybrid car is an important invention because it shows an alternative way to drive and use less gas. In Conclusion Hybrid and electric cars have transform the way that we commute and travel.

Since the average mile per gallon on a hybrid is about 10 miles higher, it “eliminates” the total amount of carbon monoxide put into the air by about 50 pounds every 100 miles traveled, while a conventional car puts out roughly 75 pounds of carbon monoxide every 100 miles ( HowStuffWorks.) Although hybrids do put carbon monoxide in the air, it is about produces about 25 pounds less than a conventional car will. “By replacing gasoline with electric power, we can drastically reduce air pollution and CO2 emissions from the exhaust pipes of millions of vehicles around the world.” ( Electric cars,

Internet Article – Ford Strives to Meet Hybrid Demand Abstract This paper will explore points in a Washington Post article titled, "Ford Strives to Meet Hybrid Demand" and explain why changes occurred in its supply, demand, and price of hybrid vehicles. The supplier in this article, Ford Motor Company, has experienced a recent spike in the demand for hybrid vehicles, which will likely continue to increase. The spike has made it difficult for suppliers to meet the demand of its hybrid vehicles. Summary Hybrid vehicles are gas-electric vehicles. They provide gas mileage that is more efficient than that of conventional gas only powered vehicles.

A hybrid has an electric engine as well as a gasoline engine. This is good because the electric engine is used at low speeds to power the car while the gasoline engine is used at high speeds to power the car. Another disadvantage of hybrid cars is that all hybrid cars are not the same. This is so because there are some cars that are partially a hybrid or ‘mild hybrids’. These cars cannot use their electric motor alone and when the car is halts their gasoline engine stops.

On the other hand the non plug in hybrid cannot propel the vehicle under the batteries power. The engine is needed to move the car, but when you are at a stop light or just coasting the engine will shut off and the battery will take over. This vehicle charges its battery through regenerative braking, which captures the energy lost when braking. The savings you gain from a non plug in hybrid are not nearly as much as the plug in hybrid but there is still a decent amount of money saved. Fully electric vehicles are becoming more and more prevalent in our society since they have longer ranges and they are now easier to

Since hybridsbecame available there has been an increase in efficiencies, moreluxuriesand increased driver benefits. When first designed, hybrid vehicles aimed toreduce fuel consumption by half ofalready high gas mileage vehicles. The hybrid’s historystarted off rocky because the electric batteries, generators, and motorshad losses of 15-25 percent in energy, causing it to be more desirable toroute as much of the engine power directly to the wheels (Cheng 114). Doing so, however, was not sufficient for power. Since 1975, five improvements were made that rendered itmore available to the public.
