Hybrid Cars
car of the era 
What are hybrid cars
Vehicles that use both a traditional engine (combustion) and a rechargeable system (typically operated by a battery) to improve mileage, cause less pollution, and decrease need for gasoline
An automobile powered by both an internal combustion engine and an electric motor
Most hybrid cars available today use a combination of gasoline and electric engines while some use a combination of diesel and electric engines.
Types of hybrid cars
Parallel hybrid car
To turn the transmission they use either its electric motor or gasoline engine. Because of this, both the electric motor and the gasoline engines are connected directly to the transmission of the car.
Series hybrid car
Cars which has only the electric motor which is directly connected to the transmission.
In a series hybrid, the gasoline engine is only used to charge the batteries that are used to power the electric motor.
Hybrid Car Features
Regenerative Braking: Instead of using only friction to brake the car, the electric motor/generator of the hybrid car uses the excess kinetic energy to charge the batteries of the electric engine and thereby capturing some of the energy that would've been otherwise lost in the case of conventional cars.
Temporary Engine Shut-off: Since hybrid cars have two engines to power them, it they can automatically shut off the gas powered engine when the car is idle and use its electric engine to power it. This saves fuel.
Other features to maximize the fuel efficiency of hybrid cars are,
Minimal-drag tires
carbon fiber and
Other lightweight materials to reduce overall weight
Sate of the art aerodynamic designs for the body.
All these things make it easier for a hybrid car to drive up inclines and accelerate, attain higher speeds as well as minimize fuel consumption and emissions.
Benefits of hybrid car
Environment friendly. They can reduce pollution by 90 percent.
Hybrid cars are much simpler to operate - less maintenance, reliable in the long run
lower emissions and better mileage.
purchase incentives for Hybrid vehicle owners (varies)
Special warranties are provided for the battery pack, the electric motor other costly items
