Hybrids and EV's

Hybrid cars are cars that run on both an electric engine and a gasoline engine. The two engines work together giving the car good gas mileage.

What are Hybrid Cars?

When the car starts up, only the electric engine turns on. When you start driving, the gasoline engine turns on. As you slow down, the gas engine shuts off and the car converts momentum from the wheels into electric energy for the battery, which powers the electric motor. When you stop, the electric and gas engine shut off, conserving energy.

How Hybrid Cars Work

Examples of Hybrid Cars

Toyota Camry Hybrid Toyota Prius

Ford Fusion Hybrid

EV's (electric vehicles) completely run on an electric motor. They give off 0% emissions. Their average driving range is about 100-200 miles per recharge while regular cars can go over 300 miles.

What are EV Cars?

Examples of EV's

Nissan Leaf

Unless your house doesn't run on oil, EV's really do give off emissions. Hybrids charge their electric battery by themselves and can go longer distances. Therefore, hybrids are better for longer distances. EV's give off less emissions.

Which one is better?

Yes, they will because, they will reduce the emissions in the world, reducing global warming especially if many people buy them.

Will hybrids and EV's change our future?

Toyota Camry Hybrid- 43 MPGToyota Prius- 51 MPGToyota Prius c- 53 MPGToyota Prius v- 44 MPGHonda Inight- 44 MPGHonda Civic- 44 MPGFord Fusion Hybrid- 47 MPG

Examples of Hybrid Fuel Economy

1. MPG- Miles per gallon.2. Emissions- What cars that run on gas

give off, which is harmful to the air.3. Momentum- The force of movement.
