Hybrid Cars
Hybrid Cars are those that use two or more means of propulsion. Internal combustion and electric motor cars are common hybrid cars. The electric portion of the system can be run via rechargeable batteries, or a chemical mix.

What is the Need of hybrid vehicles?
Most important which everybody knows, is its environmental advantage -it increase health for nature and human being. Hybrid vehicles are easy to drive. It works best in the city and highways also. It is not necessary to keep replacing batteries frequently. Now a day with constantly increasing prices of petrol, diesel and gas hybrid vehicles are the superior option over the others.
What does a blower motor resistor do on a car?
Blower fan resistor controls electric current to the fan motor to maintain different speeds.
How does a hybrid car operate at night?
Hybrid cars run on electricity and a petroleum engine. It does not require sunlight to operate.
Does a smart car qualify for a hybrid tax break?
NO. The Smart Car is not a hybrid and receives no tax break. It has a 3 cylinder 71 h.p. gasoline engine. The Smart gets around 40 mpg but requires the use of Premium fuel. This is equal to a car burning Regular fuel and getting 36 mpg. Not a good trade off for this tiny car. There are larger cars that do just as well on Regular fuel. Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, just to name two.
What is the difference of hybrid and cng?
A hybrid uses a combination of fuels. CNG is natural gas and is basically a regular car that uses natural gas as the fuel instead or gasoline. This qualifies as a hybrid. The definition is a auto that can use more then one type of fuel.
Are used hybrid cars efficient in fuel and friendly to our environment?
Absolutely. Used hybrid cars are just as useful as used gasoline cars. There are fears that the batteries are "used up" in used hybrid cars, but the lifetime of the batteries is very long and this should not be a problem.
Is it true that hybrids do not have car exhaust?
No, they still produce the same pollution and exhaust, just a slight amount less than conventional cars. Except the Nissan Leaf, it is a purely electric car no gas imput or ehaust pipe.
What percentage of Americans use regular gasoline in their cars?
About 98% of Americans use regular gas in their cars.
Do I need to recharge or plug in a hybrid vehicle?
There is no need to plug in a hybrid vehicle. The hybrid engine will recharge the batteries as needed by using the gas engine. Some newer hybrid cars even use breaking to recharge the batteries.
Do hybrid cars use a lot of gas?
No.
Well at least that is the intent. The gas savings may be difficult to calculate, as the car is more efficient (uses the battery more often) with stop and go city traffic and will use gas more often for highway travel.
The gas savings are also difficult to evaluate as there are many designs of the hybrid cars.

What are the short-comings of hybrid vehicle engines?
One negative impact is the false belief that these autos are doing something good for the environment. Some models are more cost effective and use less gas then conventional autos and these can create a slight improvement over conventional systems. The pollution created by creating these other systems though is ignored.
A small car getting 50 mpg with a conventional engine is far better, from an environmental impact, then a hybrid getting 55 mpg. Larger hybrids fair even worse.
The braking problem that is now associated with Toyota's hybrids should not be ignored either.
The greatest issue though is the increased expensive of ownership and the technology inside these automobiles. The projected lifespan is shorter for these cars (and thus the increased issue of disposal) has not really been factored into their life cycle.
Some reports falsely accuse these cars of being a greater source of pollution then a Hummer. The truth is somewhere in between. If you want a peppy little in town run about the Prius is a nice choice. Just do not buy it to help the environment. They are probably about a neutral over a conventional Aveo.
Answerits a car that runs with gas and an electric engineor diesel and an electric engine
AnswerA hybrid vehicle is an automobile with more than one power source, such as an electric motor and internal combustion.The overall effect is ont as environmentally friendly as one would suppose,
that is impossible because bannas do not give the car any energy that is like fossil fuels or energy it's like your asking if a computer can be pluged into a banana
How were hybrid cars invented?
- The first hybrid gasoline-electric car was invented in 1899.
- Regenerative breaking hybrid car was invented in 1978.
Why are hybrid cars better than electric cars?
If electric cars are charged using renewable energy then they are better than hybrid cars, because hybrids still burn some fossil fuels. However, electric cars charged with fossil fuel energy would not be better than hybrid cars.
How are electric cars different than hybrid cars?
Electric cars are electric, hybrids are gas, and electric.
What is the difference between a hybrid car and a car?
a conventional car has an internal combustion motor which runs on a form of fuel eg. petrol but a hybrid uses a electrical engine and a normal one. the electrical one is powered by a normal engine and the wheels rolling... it only uses it's normal engine sometimes to help it go faster. you will only need to re-fuel it with diesel or petrol depending what car you go for. :) so in short a normal car has one fueled motor and a hybrid has a normal motor and an electrical one making it more fuel efficient
What is a hybrid car what kind of gas do they use?
A hybrid car is a car that runs on battery and gas. It uses standard unleaded regular gas.
What is better using an electric car or using a gas powered car?
An electric car doesn't go very fast and are usually small, Gas powered cars have much more torque and speed. Some newer cars run on both so when they are going slow they run on electricity but when they are going fast they run on gas. These are not electric cars though as the fuel used is gas to create the electric power.
To answer your question, gas cars are far better because they can go further then 20 miles and are legal on our roads. There are no legal electric cars commercially built.and do not exist.
Why is a hybrid car better then an ordinary car?
They get slightly better city mileage then conventional cars. They would help reduce foreign oil dependence if people drove them.
What is the average gas mileage for a hybrid car?
There is no "average" mileage for a hybrid. Hybrid is a type of drivetrain, so the question would be like asking what the "average" mileage for a gasoline car is, or a diesel car is. You would need to know what vehicle you wanted to know the mpg on. The 2008 Toyota Prius averages a combined 46mpg, which the 2008 GMC Yukon 1500 Hybrid 2WD averages 20mpg.
What happens when you accidentally put diesel fuel in a hybrid car?
You need to recognize hybrid cars have two propulsion systems to make them move. The first is a small There are two electric motors that is are powered by a battery pack. This electric motor powers the car during low speed movement. When the car needs to go faster, the electric motors shut off and the gasoline engine kicks in. Inside the transmission is a planetary gear set attached to the engine, the first electric motor and the second electric motor.
By operating the motors at separate times, and in reverse or by locking them up and not allowing them to move, the car can achieve many different gear ratios. Also, when the motors are pushed by the engine, the created current charges the battery. Because we can control the speed of the car by absorbing energy and storing it, we can operate the ICE at its ideal rpm for power output and ecomomy.
If you were to put diesel into a gasoline engine, whether it be a normal car or the engine attached to a hybrid car, you would cause substantial damage to the fuel systems of the car. You would get some misfire issues, the check engine light would come on, and the HV ECU would likely have the ICE turn off and the car would drive slow. The primary damage would be in the fuel filters, within the engine block and inside the fuel tank. The car also would not run because of the way gasoline and diesel are combusted. Fortunately, in the United States, the size of a diesel nozzle at the gas stations are too large to fit inside the filling holes of gasoline powered cars so mistaking fuel pumps is quite difficult.

What is the means of hybrid cars?
So-called "hybrid" cars can be powered by more than one type of fuel. i.e. gasoline/electric - gasoline/diesel - etc. So-called "hybrid" cars can be powered by more than one type of fuel. i.e. gasoline/electric - gasoline/diesel - etc.
What kind of hybrid cars can people buy?
It depends what country you live in.
Here in the UK, the main options are the Toyota Prius, The Honda Insight and the Honda CR-Z however, there are also a number of electric cars on the market. In the USA, Ford have a few hybrid cars in production whilst it is probable that in Japan there is an extended range of hybrid vehicles
