The environmental advantages of the hybrid car should be quite obvious to everybody, increased health for both people and nature. It is long since proved that the use of oil products releases more pollution into the air than the nature can take care of, increasing risks of both cancer and lung diseases. The pollution produced by cars might also get carried into the atmosphere where it transforms into acidic rain, one of the worst problems for nature and even planted crops. So by using hybrid cars humanity not only does the nature a favor but also does our selves a favor.

Hybrids are the future! People that are so reluctant to change to alternative fuels are just holding up progress

At last, personally tested hybrid.. I’m tired of the official parameters and was looking for real life testings. By the way, I’ve met this growing leaves and trees feature in Honda hybrids. Is it going to be a popular trend of growing green plants? )

I agree with this article. I believe hybrid cars can definitely bring change to our world. I mean look at the pollution many traditional cars are creating. I think electric cars will be a great leap for this. I also hope that hydro cars will be next.

With the crisis in the automakers sector the prices of hybrid cars keeps coming down. Gas prices keep going up. It only makes sense that in a few years you’ll get a return on your investment. After that is becomes much cheaper to own a hybrid.

I still think it will be a long time before petrol and diesel cars are phased out.It will take much convincing to make people change from what they have known for so long.

Hellp,

in my opinion most of the discussions leave out an important aspect about hybrid cars… that the premium carmakers do not want to switch to full EVs (sure, there is also a battery topic, but 100 years ago the technology was nearly as far as it is today … an industry insider told me that about 30-50% of the added value to a car are in the drivetrain…engine and gears…

on the other hand, an electric vehicle is pretty easily built…some motors from a DIY store, buying batteries from a supplier, some metal…basically thats it

No, premium carmakers just cannot switch to EVs, they need the hybrid cars to keep it complex or 230-50% of their knowledge-advantage and ability to charge premium prices are gone

for me that’s why we see complicated Hybrids…and not directly EVS…
100 years ago we were already where we are now

Yeah, Being able to travel the first 30 to 50 miles on all electric power alone is going to save millions of gallons of gasoline.

Another 10:
1. Made of lightweight materials, hybrids are small in size. The engine is designed to be fuel efficient. When the car halts at a signal, the engine will automatically shut down and restart when the car shifts into gear.

2. These cars have the advantage of being powered by a gasoline engine and an electric motor that takes care of acceleration.

3. The batteries of the electric motor recharge automatically by harnessing the kinetic energy produced during braking.

4. Hybrid car engines produce less emission, give better mileage, idle less, and are fuel efficient.

5. The aerodynamic design reduces drag and the tires are made of a special rubber that reduces friction.

6. The battery has high capacity and is made of nickel-metal-hydride. The battery can run the hybrid when called for.

7. The power-train technology enables using two power sources and enhances fuel efficacy.

8. There are many choices. You can have a hybrid from Honda, Ford, Toyota, GMC, and Chevrolet.

9. If your transportation of choice is a hybrid then the US Government will applaud your choice by giving you significant tax breaks.

10. Using a hybrid means you are active in ensuring the air is clean and that you are a concerned citizen who wishes to save fuel which is precious.
