global brands. In 1997‚ Honda Motor Company introduced to Japan a two-door gas/electric hybrid vehicle called the Insight. The Insight’s fuel efficiency was rated at 61 miles per gallon in the city‚ and 68 miles per gallon on the highway‚ and its battery did not need to be plugged into an electrical outlet for recharging. By 1999‚ Honda was selling the Insight in the United States‚ and winning accolades from environmental groups. In 2000 the Sierra Club gave Honda its Award for Excellence in Environmental

No longer do they need to be plugged in every night to charge their batteries. Hybrid vehicles have Intergraded Motor Assist Systems that pair electric motors with the gasoline engine. While gasoline vehicles are still more convenient to repair‚ hybrid vehicles are becoming just as reliable. Hybrid vehicles are still more

Compare and Contrast Gasoline Verses Electric Vehicles A wave of environmental values and a reduction in production costs is causing many consumers to consider trading in their gas powered cars for an electric counterpart. While the shift from gas powered vehicles to electric is still relatively young‚ recent changes have caused it to pick up significant speed. When comparing the advantages and disadvantages of gas and electric vehicles several options should be considered. A few of these options
