Electric cars have been around for a very long time. An electric car is powered by a battery instead of an engine. Surprisingly, they have existed longer than gasoline powered vehicles. A related technology is the gasoline/electric hybrid car, and they are powered by both large batteries and gasoline engines. Although initially more expensive, electric cars and hybrid cars cause a deduction in environmental destruction because they have higher fuel efficiency, reduced air pollutants, and less petrochemical waste. The people that purchase these vehicles must understand why it’s vital to replace combustion engine cars with clean technology cars. Fuel efficiency is one of the main features that are looked upon when purchasing a new vehicle. Hybrid and electric vehicles have a much higher efficiency compared to any other regular vehicle. A hybrid car will only use gasoline if a low rotations per minute output is needed. A higher rotation per minute always needs more fuel. A electric car still needs to be powered and this can be done by electricity alone. This Electricity comes from plugging them into an electrical panel. These panels can be powered by hydroelectric, solar, wind, nuclear, and others. These sources are more clean for our environment compared to the amount of air pollution released by massive amounts of vehicles powered by internal combustion engines. The importance of reducing air pollutants is also thought about when searching for a new car. Hybrid and electric cars put out less pollution into the air than regular vehicles. This is because the battery takes over the duties of the regular engines full time and sometimes part time. There are a great amount of pollutants that are ejected from a regualr vehicle and they include: hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and soot. Those are just a few of many more dangerous pollutants expelled from combustion engines that harm environment, and humans. Purchasing Hybrid and electric vehicles can
