What is the hybrid cars advantages?

Answer 1

Good question!  People are starting to talk about hybrids so understanding their advantages is important.  First and foremost the cars are designed with the environment in mind, to lower carbon dioxide emissions which contribute to global warming.  The cars are very clever in reducing petrol consumption and generating electricity from braking and coasting to charge the electric engine battery.

The cars only use petrol when accelerating.  When the car has reached its optimum speed or when decelerating or when the vehicle has stopped, the electric engine kicks in and no petrol is consumed.  This avoids petrol wastage making the vehicles much more efficient than normal vehicles and also quieter.  You will start to see many more hybrids on the market in future years as manufacturers focus on improving their 'green' credentials and making their vehicles more fuel efficient.  This will also make the cars cheaper to buy in future.  Hybrids are great start to help the world lower carbon emissions.  Cheers

Answer 2

The advantages of the hybrid are two very important advantages.

First, since the engine runs under constant load and constant speed it can be designed and tuned to operate at much higher efficiency than an engine that runs at different speeds and different loads.

Second, the motors that drive the car can also be used as generators in braking to recover some of the energy lost in braking.

Answer 3

Way better fuel consumption

Answer 4

Greater gas mileage.
