What percentage of Americans use hybrid cars?

As it stands now about 24%

About 98% of Americans use regular gas in their cars.

Hybrid cars do not run on the power of the sun. Hybrid cars use a battery and gas to run.

There are hybrid cars in use in many countries.

Hybrid cars use combination of internal combustion engine and one or more electric motors.

Far less then 1% as non are available commercially.

Hybrid cars are not the same as an electric car. Electric cars run on electric power exclusively, while hybrid cars use a combination of electric energy and another fuel to run.

Many people feel that hybrid cars will save them money concerning gas prices. Others feel that hybrid cars are better for the environment due to the lack of emissions.

yes. Hybrid cars are a mixture of gasoline and electicity. So, you can use either, OS it has a gas pipe

No, hybrid cars were designed to use less fossil fuel, thus slowing global warming.

Countries are stationary and do not ever use cars. The people of Portugal sure do use them though.

The fuel they use.

Most use ordinary regular grade, just like other cars.

hybrid cars runs on battery and gas. when you go really fast and use a hybrid car then you stop... you use a whole bunch of the battery... while you are waiting,, the battery charges and then VOULA... theres your charged battery......... sky...

it saves more gas because hybrid cars are chargeable.

hybrids use battery power and gas. normal cars use only gas

hybrid and gas cars both use gasoline to fuel its drive. However hybrid uses the gasoline more efficiently by converting braking energy to electric energy.

no hybrids use the same amount of fuel as other cars but u can also use electriceity

Hybrid cars can also use electricity to run as well as gasoline. Therefore, it is able to go much further on one tank of gas. This is why hybrid cars are not only better for the environment, but also more economical to drive.

they use less co2 emissions then usual cars. Common Eco cars are hybrid cars and electric cars

Hybrid cars don't release the carbon dioxide of the other cars, because they don't use, or they use less, gasoline. Carbon dioxide (CO2) builds up in the atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect. So because they don't release it, hybrid cars don't contribute to the greenhouse effect. Some hybrid cars use a battery which can be recharged from mains electricity. If this electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) then…

All hybrids use a conventional engine.

they use an alternative energy source. NOT THE SUN

Over 95% of hybrid cars use gas only as fuel. From that they generate electricity and store it in batteries for later use to supplement the gas engine. The remaining hybrid cars (called plugin hybrids) use gas too, but can also be plugged in to keep the batteries charged.

only 5%

Sometimes Hybrid cars combine an internal combustion engine with a battery system to improve efficiency. In many cars, this translates into improved fuel economy, but some hybrids use those savings for added power. If you're shopping for a hybrid, check the fuel economy rating!

Yes, hybrid means that something is crossed with another product. In this case an electric car was crossed with a car that uses gas to create the hybrid!

Hybrid cars such as the Toyota Prius or the Mitsubishi PHEV.

A some hybrid cars can be plugged into an electric outlet to recharge their batteries B hybrid cars have many special features that save energy and reduce their operating costs C some hybrid cars use regenerative braking which is a system in which energy that is produced when the brakes are applied is fed back to help recharge the batteries D many hybrid cars will switch off the gasoline engine automatically when the car is…

hybrid cars help the environment because they don't use any fuel, so no pollution is present. unfortunately the majority of citizens don't buy these cars since they are very expensive.

A Hybrid car uses both electric motors and a gasoline engine. Some Hybrids use a very small gasoline engine to assist in charging the batteries that drive the electric motors. These cars often use breaking to charge the batteries as well

Electric energy aka Kinetic Energy.

Generator and the batteries it charges.

vehicles that use batteries as well as fuel as a source for propulsion.

They don't pollute the world as much as normal cars

HYBRID CARS- Hybrids are cars that run on electricity. Although hybrid cars help with your spending money on gas, they're not that fast or powerful, most of them. GASOLINE POWERED CARS- They're the cars you usually see on the street and run on gas. They're faster than hybrids, but you'll use up more money with them, unless they're fuel efficient. Some cars are mixtures of both, like the Toyota Prius and the Honda Insight.

Hybrid cars can not be plugged in so the only cost you encounter when trying to charge the batteries of a hybrid car is the cost of gasoline. All of today's modern cars charge their batteries though the use of regenerative braking systems which use the friction of the brakes to generate electricity and a small gasoline engine.

Surpisingly, they use natural gas or unleaded gasonline. They are also ran on electricity, in which they actually use less gas and use more electricity, saving the world from using too much gasoline. Hybrid cars don't have much power though. I wouldn't recommend getting one.

It would be fair to say that the percentage of African Americans that use linux is extremely low as is the level of educational attainment by African Americans.

13% of Americans use Twitter whilst 51% use Facebook.

Hi, Hybrid cars are most commonly known as Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs). They include a combination of an internal combustion engine or one or more electric motors. They use both gasoline and electric motors.

We could use the newly developed hybrid cars but the problem is not everyone can afford one.

95% of people.

A hybrid car uses either gas, or diesel, and electricity. Hybrids are vehicles that use two types of power for their fuel. In fact even submarines are considered hybrids because they use nuclear power and electricity.

President-elect Obama's staff has indicated that they favor financial help to the auto industry only if the money is used to make more efficient vehicles. This would include, but not be limited to, cars that use hybrid technology.

Cars, trucks, vans, vechiles'

That would depend on what we use as alternatives to hybrid cars. It could be less than 0% or as much as 15%. Many smaller cars get as good, or better mileage than their hybrid alternatives and require far less expensive electronics.

Exactly what the Americans use cars,bus,trains and aircraft

Hybrid Cars include a combination of an internal combustion engine or one or more electric motors.They use both gasoline and electric motors. There is an installed computer system which takes the decision to use gasoline or electricity.

Hybrid Cars can protect the environment in many ways. First, they emit less amounts of gasoline, have a smaller sized engine, and recapture significant amounts of energy normally wasted during braking. Next, these Hybrid Cars offer special tires that are inflated more; this trait makes the engine work less and provides a better grip to the driver. Moreover, the shape an aerodynamics of a vehicle improves gas mileage and handling at the same time. Hybrid…
