John Tso Professor: Matthew Ryckebusch Navitas 101 Assignment #3 Word count: 925 The Benefits of Hybrid Cars There was once a time when you could turn on the news and not hear about the terrible state of the environment or the impending doom that is global warming. That time has become part of the past. The standard automobile can be blamed for a large portion of the conflict. Today’s large gasoline engines spew harmful emissions into the air every time we drive. Of course as a result‚ the

could be a possible outcome due to the fact that over the years‚ thousands of cars have been manufactured and most of them run and depend on fossil fuels. Today these fossil fuels are potentially in danger of running out due to the use of them in the vehicles we travel in every day. Currently cars such as hybrids are being manufactured and are being brought to attention so this problem will be less likely to occur. Hybrid cars are able to run on electricity and if the battery runs out of electricity

of these vehicles consume gasoline and a smaller proportion is hybrid based. These two types of vehicles have many similarities. The two such vehicles require an energy source and both types of vehicles provide an important function to society. That function is to provide people with a reliable form of transportation. Although these two types of vehicles have many similarities‚ their differences are what distinguish them. Hybrid vehicles are more cost effective‚ environmentally sound‚ and safe

A hybrid vehicle is one that combines the best features of two different energy sources‚ one of which is electric power. The three vehicle I would choose is a Ford Escape‚ Chevrolet Tahoe‚ and a Honda Insight. Hybrid are a viable option than other cars because owner will never have to buy gasoline. Also‚ driving a hybrid is good for pollution levels. There are no emissions to harm the environment. The pros for the Ford Escape it is the most-fuel efficient SUV‚ very smooth between gas and electric

The advantages of hybrid cars Hybrid car is mainly focusing on green energy that obviously can offer a lot of advantages for us. The advantages of hybrid car itself begin right from its distinction in the model compared to other models. Two energy sources are used for the hybrid car movement as it has two engines that are working under one hood. They are the electric motor and the gasoline engine. These two engines can help in saving the usage of gas as it can save as much as 30
