Why Hybrid Cars are the Future: The Benefits of Owning a Hybrid

The Top Benefits of Owning a Hybrid: Saving Money & Reducing Emissions

Hybrid Repair: What You Need to Know to Keep Your Car Running Smoothly

More and more, automakers are embracing electric vehicles. But if you want to go green and are ready, try a hybrid vehicle. A battery pack and an internal combustion engine generally power hybrid cars. This engine tends to run on gasoline. The battery propels the vehicle at lower speeds while the combustion engine provides the torque for higher speeds.

The Hidden Benefits of Owning a Hybrid: Better Resale Value & Tax Credits

Hybrid electric cars use a separate electric engine and a conventional engine, either gas or diesel. They often use a system of regenerative braking or braking that uses braking power to charge the batteries, while the electric motor power allows using a smaller engine and provides auxiliary loads such as lights. There are many advantages to having a hybrid car. Hybrid cars may be more environmentally friendly. They often provide better fuel efficiency than conventional engines. You may also find you have reduced CO2 emissions in a hybrid car. In the long run, hybrid vehicles require less maintenance and have a higher resale value. However, electric vehicles tend to have higher upfront cost and repair costs. Electric vehicles may also have less power than their conventional counterparts. You might find that you miss the power of a conventional engine and worry about range distance with an electric engine.
