Im doing it on hybrid cars and its a powerpoint.

the questions I have to answer are-

What is a hybrid car?

How do they work?

and Some other facts.

For the first question Ive said - "A hybrid car is basically a car that runs on a combined electric and petrol engine."

for the second Ive said - "The electric motor runs on electricity it gets from the battery.

The batteries are re-charged from excess energy from the petrol engine – when the car decelerates or is under breaks."

some other facts - "It’s battery will last about 240, 500 kilometers longer then a regular cars battery.

By driving a hybrid car for 10 years (or 100, 000km), you will have saved 7.5 tonnes of carbon emissions compared to driving a car that runs on solely petrol.

They don’t make much noise- if any at all. You almost don’t hear them when you turn the engine on."

I realized I dont have much information on it, and I cant find many good sites that say other then what Ive already said, so can you help me elaborate?

  2. Goggle the key words.  Check out Wikepedia.  Ford cars and many others have hybrid vehicles.  Call or write them.  Call Consumer Reports and ask for help.  In writing your paper use as many examples as possible.  Check with your local newspapers and call the research desk at your library.

  3. Hello here are some websites about hybrid cars… My teenage son had to do a report on this for school recently….
