Reasons to Buy a Hybrid Car

The efficiency of the
  • Hybrid

  • is boosted by the small size and lightweight materials used to make the car.
  • Hybrid Vehicles
  • also have regenerative braking. This means that the electric motor that drives the hybrid acts as a generator and charges the battery while the car is slowing. Hybrids also have a periodic engine shut off; meaning when a hybrid is stopped in traffic, the engine is temporarily shut off. Then when the car is put back in gear, the car starts automatically. The efficiency of a hybrid car outperforms that of a conventional car.

  • Hybrid Cars

  • are friendly to the environment.

    Because a hybrid idles less and is more fuel efficient, it benefits the environment. The hybrid gets better gas mileage than a conventional gas engine. They consume less gas and produce less pollution per mile than other non-hybrid cars. Some hybrids can get ten to fifteen miles per gallon more than a regular gas engine. They are also capable of producing 90 percent fewer harmful emissions.
