Global Hybrid Electric Vehicle Market 2014-2018 A hybrid electric vehicle combines two energy sources‚ one of which is mechanical (ICE) and the other electrical. The size of the gasoline engine in a hybrid electric vehicle is smaller than that in a traditional vehicle. The combination of the two power sources helps to achieve better fuel economy and performance. Hybrid electric vehicles use efficient technologies such as regenerative braking that charges the battery by converting kinetic energy

Could a electric engine efficiently replace the job of the combustion engine. As electric vehicles are becoming more affordable and more strict laws are being applied to the combustion engine. Is the electric engine good enough to fully replace the uses of the gasoline combustion engine and the diesel combustion engine. As more technology is being used in the combustion engine‚ they are becoming more efficient. But not fast enough. So can the current electric vehicles fully replace the combustion

automakers touting this level of performance. In 2010‚ look for GM’s Volt and Nissan’s Leaf‚ but there will also be offerings from unknown startups such as V-Vehicle‚ a California-based electric car company backed by billionaire T. Boone Pickens. These automobiles range from hybrids—a combination of gas and electric—to all-electric vehicles. This level of performance comes at a high price‚ however. Although consumers will receive an expected $7‚500 tax credit for purchasing one of these cars‚ the

Throughout the years electric cars have always been behind gas powered vehicles. They have always been short on the side of performance and range. And most people want a vehicle that has lots of performance. America has opted for the more sporty and luxurious SUVs and trucks. These vehicles use a lot of gas to run‚ but are a way of American life. Electric cars did not start to become popular until the late 90’s‚ when the price of gas began to rise. In the beginning‚ electric cars were very slow.
