Hybrid car

By David Maillie

A hybrid car is a relatively new type of car, it basically combines an electric vehicle with the more traditional internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine is actually quite efficient under certain circumstances, electric motors used in cars are still pretty much in their infancy.

Hybrid cars supposedly offer you the best of both worlds, and possibly a chance to save the environment too! Modern hybrid cars such as the Toyota Prius also recapture some of the energy lost while breaking and use this to charge the internal batteries.

People are concerned with fuel efficiency these days for two main reasons, the first being to save the environment. However by far the most important reason to be interested in fuel efficiency is to save your pocket rather than the environment!

The main selling feature of hybrid cars is that they will be much cheaper to run due to them being able to use both forms of propulsion. However most people that run these cars claim that their mileage is about the same as a regular car, some people have even accused Toyota of recharging the batteries from the mains electricity before starting the test in order to get the best mileage possible.

Hybrid vehicles instantly switch off when you are stationary, the moment you tap the gas again and you’re off! A new and interesting technology is known as regenerative breaking, this puts energy back into the batteries when you brake, and this reduces the need to plug your car into the wall.

So many people are sceptical over whether hybrid cars really save the owner money, for a start they’re more expensive to purchase (some are priced $6,000 or more over their similar regular gas vehicles). But at least they’re friendlier to the environment, right.

Well this isn’t known for certain either, many people also argue the environmentally friendly issue of these cars!
