Hybrid Cars


Hybrid cars are automobiles that utilizes a gasoline powered motor and an electric motor as two sources of power for its movement. Other forms of transportations such as bicycles, roller blades and scooters are examples of hybrid transportation. The hybrid car has the advantages of both gas and electric cars and puts them together. As hybrid cars are produced in the U.S., they could reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Hybrid cars have a considerably high quantity of gas mileage, which means you would be saving a ton of money on gas.Aside from all the positive benefits of hybrid cars, there are some negatives as well. Many seem to think there are problems not found yet within the hybrid car because it is “new technology”. Hybrid cars tend to be higher priced such as up to $5,000 more than a regular version car. Between spending money on gas for a regular car and paying more for the hybrid there really isn’t much of a big difference between the two regarding money. So when you are choosing between the regular gasoline car and a hybrid car, carefully research before you make your choice! I personally would rather all of America to own Hybrid cars because it is better for the environment.
