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 car companies make hybrid electric vehicles?
Many. Can't give you an exact number because I don't care about EVs because they suck
What is the mileage of hybrid electric car?
It varies from car to car. My Honda Insight gets about 37 MPG city and 54 MPG highway. Toyotas tend to get better city mileage than highway.
Not only are hybrid cars less expensive than normal vehicles but they are more eco friendly. These cars accomplish this by having two energy sources, using a standard combustion engine with an electrical engine. Inside of hybrid cars is a computer system that makes the decision of whether to run on gasoline or electricity. The less gasoline we use the more saved and the less harmful fumes are emitted into our environment.
Are hybrid vehicles truly environmentally friendly?
yes I know from experience that hybrid cars are in fact environmentally friendly. I can get up to 45 mpg with my hybrid car, and my friend can get up to 50 mpg with his hybrid. hybrid cars are environmentally friendly because they get more mpg than most cars, require less oil changes than normal cars, they turn off the engine when idling, and because your engine is used less you will not need as many repairs/problems with your engine.
What is the definition of hybrid car?
Hybrid car use more than one type of fuel to operate, namely gasoline and electricity.
Why does modern hybrids use ac synchronous motor instead of dc series motors?
Toyota uses AC motors, Honda uses DC motors. It varies with design goals.
Or perhaps you mean that best that anyone has achieved while driving one...with very careful driving on carefully selected routes, over 100 mpg is possible in the original Insight. Some people have lifetime averages on Insights in the 80s; at least one in the 90s.
Do you have to plug a hybrid car in to recharge?
Certain hybrid cars that are electric have the option of a plug in charger. Others simply use excess electricity generated by the combustion engine to charge the battery itself.
Is a hybrid better than a hydrogen powered car?
it depend on what is your stand point. if you are upper class , hydrogen is the solution, anything lower, hybrid. Hydrogens cost anywhere from $60,000 to $1,000,000, depending on the car.
Yes and No. It is more efficient then a conventional gas powered system, but still has a long way to go in terms of being real efficient.
Are hybrid cars more economical than conventional cars?
Maybe, but if you factor in manufacturing and recycling costs of batteries and the hybrid drive system it can be more expensive.
Do used Hybrid Cars get good gas mileage like the new ones do?
Yes, but beware that the battery that provides the electrical portion of the power will need to be replaced before the end of the car's useful life, so factor that into your cost calculations.
What are the advantages of a Honda Hybrid SUV?
It is environmentally friendly. It does not use a lot of fuel which saves money. It runs a long time without a re fill on gas. It is compacted and does not emit carbon dioxide.
How do hybrid cars help the environment?
They have a negative impact on the environment, but do save about 10% on fuel costs over similar sized vehicles. They pollution created during their construction and the earlier scaping outweigh their fuel economy. They help in reducing foreign oil dependence.
Yes, they are still using fossil fuel as the energy supply
What is bad about hybrid cars?
There is gas being saved, but there is only 2 engines and they can tend to break down faster than most cars. This costs money to fix, and repairs can be expensive. Batteries can also be a problem. Their life expectancy is 3-5 years, and can cost as much as $4000 to replace. There is some effects from making the batteries, as they have to store the energy as well as obtain it. This can be bad for the environment, even though this is just making the batteries. It also effects how much gas mileage the Hybrid actually has, as there have been reports of some cars not getting the same mileage as promised (for example, a car got 30 MPG instead of 50 MPG).
