Maybe, but if you factor in manufacturing and recycling costs of batteries and the hybrid drive system it can be more expensive.
Electric cars have no emissions and are cleaner than conventional and hybrid cars because they produce zero pollution. They also are much more fuel efficient and get better milage.
Hybrid cars, at this moment, will be less expensive in the long run because they do not fully rely on electricity (which is becoming more and more expensive through power/electricity companies). However, electric cars are more friendly to the enviroment.
The cost of a hybrid car is about 30% more than a conventional vehicle. Please see the following for additional information: www.alternate-energy-sources.com/hybrid-cars.html -
It depends which car it is, electrical cars are usually more expensive.
Energy efficient cars are cars that gives you the most amount of travel for each unit of fuel that they use. The difference from conventional cars is that they give you more travel per unit of fuel than conventional cars do.
One of the greatest reasons to invest in electric vehicles is for their reliability. An electric vehicle has a motor that is much more reliable than a conventional car. There is a misconception that electric cars will simply die out on the road. This is a completely unfounded misconception. The truth is that electric cars can run for up to 600 miles without requiring a battery recharge or any gasoline.
Hybrid cars cost more to maintain than a conventional car. You can get more information about this at www.hybridcars.com/cars.html Hybrid cars are a bit more to maintain than a conventional gas powered. The cost will come down as the technology becomes more widespread.
Hurts the environment, and cars that use fossil fuels generally have more problems than electric. Also more expensive to fill

Electric cars reduce the amount of fuel-dependent cars on the road. As more electric cars are produced, the US will need fewer barrels of gas.
Foreign cars become more expensive.
