Hybrid Cars

Hybrid cars have become popular cars in this day and age because of the gas it has high prices those days. Hybrid Cars is a vehicle that gain power from 2 or more sources, the main idea of it is to save the environment from the pollution that cars produce and save oil. Most of the hybrid cars use electricity and hydrogen or petrol and electricity for running. Hybrid Cars is an electrical vehicle, it is intended the presence of electric power generation to achieve either do better fuel economy than a traditional car or better.

These cars are known as hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). In 1839 Robert Anderson of Aberdeen, Scotland built the first electric vehicle. “Hybrids use two motors to make the vehicle run: an internal combustion engine that uses gasoline and an electric motor…” (Introduction to Hybrid Vehicles | J.D. Power. 2012). Hybrid cars invented by Dr. Ferdinand Porsche in 1898 called the System Lohner-Porsche Mixte, the car were driven by electric motors in the wheel hubs. When Porsche was 21 years old he invented the electric wheel-hub motor, a battery-operated motor that actually fit inside the hub of a wheel. The car engine invented in 1862, and the first car was invented in U.S. by Henry Ford in 1885.

Before the development of the hybrid cars you need to change the batteries all the time when it finishes, it been developed by Toyota’s Prius. Toyota’s Prius put a system in the hybrid cars that recharge the batteries while moving. Also you can plug-in the car to recharge, now you have two ways to charge the batteries which is by moving or plugging-in while moving it will charge automatically. After the development the hybrid cars been sold much more than before. Most of the hybrid cars used in towns to stop and go on low speed, but if you drive on high speed the batteries will need to recharged, by using gasoline engine until it recharges.

Now Americans spend more money on gasoline, using diesel and gas is the first thing that will bring global warming. Using hybrid cars is the main idea to cut out the global warming and save oil. Americans think to produce more hybrid cars in the future, which is the new transportation. The most challenge thing today is batteries can save a lot of energy to run the cars, according to Johnny , hybrid cars is the way to solve the country’s fuel crisis. ‘’plug-in’’ hybrid cars added advantage of begin able to be plugged in home electric outlets for recharging low battery cars; these cars increased the percentage of saving fuel.A higher sale in hybrid cars has helped the technological progress, just like that their qualification and the oil prices have also contributed towards a change of the government and consumers. Hybrid cars production has globally enjoyed a healthy growth in recent years. The survey of selling hybrid cars has also slowdown in the global economic. The main idea of inventing hybrid cars is because of gas prices is increasing every year, and save the earth from global warming, ozone lair and air pollution.
