Hybrid cars are the cards that run both on gasoline and another alternate fuel. like e.g. gasoline+ hydrogen fuel cell, gasoline + electric, gasoline+ natural gas and many more.

Thanks Timothy for taking time to explain hybrid cars. It was a very new word to me too. I wonder how could a car run on two different fuels. Hmm, the wonders of science, perhaps

This is used two or more distinct power sources to move the vehicle.
Hybrid cars are made with a gas engine, an electric motor and a high powered battery. The battery provides energy to the electric motor, which recharges by recapturing energy that normally would be lost when decelerating. When it is needed, power from the gas engine can be used to also recharge the battery. Since the hybrid car recharges in these ways, it does not ever need to be plugged in. if you are looking to save money on gasoline then Hybrid cars is best for you.

Benefits of Hyrid Cars:

1.Hybrids combine clean energy of the electrical motor with the power of the gas-powered engine which results into lower emissions and better mileage.

2.Thanks to the ever improving technology, hybrids perform at par with the normal ga-powered vehicles, if not better.

3. Hybrids are reliable and comfortable as any traditional car and they have a tax benefits(only till 2006).

4.There are purchase incentives for Hybrid vehicle owners (varies by state).

5. Hybrids are much cleaner cars than normal vehicles with lesser CO and other greenhouse gas emissions.

6. Hybrids provide a better mileage.

7.The future for hybrids looks bright with rapid developments in hybrid technology to improve engine efficiency.

8.Due to the Regenerative Braking technology, the batteries need not be charged by an external source.

9.Special warranties are provided for the battery pack, the electric motor other costly items.

10. Hybrids help reduce the dependency on fossil fuels which directely affects fuel prices.
