Hybrid Cars and the Reduction of Air Pollution

He is one of the team members for crash and safety department which deals with accidental issues during severe crash. This research showed those hybrid electric vehicles are more worth full for the following reasons:  Great fuel economy  Lesser emissions which helps in getting rid of environmental issues.  Smaller engine than the conventional engine  Automatic start/shutoff system which is one of the main cause for saving power.  Lower maintenance cost as compared to the high fuel prices On the basis of my research and finding, the implementation of the hybrid electric vehicle over the conventional vehicles is strongly recommended. This will eventually help us all in making a green environment and getting less dependent on the fossil fuel.

The energy density of a current lithium-ion battery is nowhere near to that of the gasoline. “The battery can produce 250 Wh(watt-hour)/kg. However, gasoline can produce up to 12000Wh/kg” (Paine,2017). Electric cars have to be accompanied with heavy energy storage devices and isolation for the batteries from any outer effects. Therefore, petrol cars weigh more less and they benefit from that weight loss by better handling and range.

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.

In today’s society there is new automotive technology emerging. This new technology is called hybrid technology and regenerative braking. Both of these are designed to improve the world we live in and to make our lives easier, but their main purpose is to increase mileage and reduce emissions in vehicles to meet federal government requirements. To achieve this manufacturers have designed a vehicle that runs off electric power, this vehicle is called a hybrid. To make this new technology more efficient the vehicle uses regenerative braking to charge its battery while driving and consequently keeps the vehicle traveling farther.

Hybrid/ electrical vehicles have a high chance as succeeding in the future, and conventional cars will slowly dissapear. Hybrid cars have more than one energy source, which saves gas. By saving gas individuals will be able to spend their money on other things. Hybrids also require the same cheap maintenance of a modern conventional car. By having the same prices for maintenance, people will not have to invest more into the car of the future.

Hybrid cars have more efficient engines, save the owner money, and reduce one’s carbon footprint. First, one needs to know what a hybrid vehicle is and how it varies from a standard gasoline vehicle. The essential difference between a gasoline and a gas-electric hybrid vehicle is “Regenerative Braking” where the electric motor uses energy from the turning wheels that is normally lost and converts is to electricity which is then stored in a battery (US Dept. of Energy). The battery powers the electric motor and can take over the operation of the vehicle from the gasoline engine.

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.

The electric motor is coupled to the wheels through gears; it converts 59-60% of electrical energy into the wheels. The battery runs the motor which allows the car to move. Electric cars are necessary as they will save money, because electricity is cheaper than gas. Also electric vehicles will help reduce global warming and pollution. However, some people say that electric cars still have environmental costs.

While Hybrids have improved gas mileage, it isn’t nearly as beneficial as car companies want the consumer to believe; the production of hybrids can create nearly 2 times the than conventional gasoline car production. On average, nearly 40% of the total lifetime carbon emissions for a hybrid-electric car occurs during production. Compare that to the meer 20% of producing a conventional gasoline vehicle and it begins to become clears why car companies focus their advertising so heavily on the on road performance of their hybrids. While a 20% difference may not seem like a lot, it means the difference of a couple tonnes of carbon emissions. Hybrid cars are called hybrids because they are a cross between an electric car and gasoline car, meaning it has both electric engines and a gasoline engine.

Although, both vehicles are similar in external structure, and design; the world is now at a point in time where electric cars are gaining popularity as society prepares itself for the next big change in transport alternatives (Kirsch, 27). The pros and cons of electric cars are therefore more identifiable than ever before. The primary contrast in feature between the two types is fuel efficiency. Electric cars offer a much better fuel efficiency capability compared to gas vehicles. For gas vehicles, the driver is required to regularly re-fill the gas tank due to the fact that the car consumes more gas than an electric car consumes power over the same distance.
