Benefits Of A Hybrid Electric Car
You have just finished filling up your gas tank and you can’t believe the numbers that are staring back at you. There doesn’t seem to be any end in sight. The price of gas just steadily increases along with your visits to the service station. Angrily, you return the pump to its cradle and say to yourself that something has got to be done.
Being an intelligent person you understand the dynamics of the situation and understand that change begins with you. Therefore, you have decided to look into the purchase of a hybrid electric car. The first step in this process is to convince your self of the benefits of a hybrid electric car. Those benefits include the hybrid car being energy efficient and safer for the environment.
Energy Efficient
The concept of a hybrid electric car takes the benefits of an electric car and a traditional combustion engine and blends them together. The electric power is generated by batteries made from Nickel-Metal-Hydride. These light weight batteries are designed to be completely discharged and recharged and have the ability of storing electrical power.
The combustion engine found in a hybrid electric car is similar to a normal smaller engine. However, in contributing to the energy efficiency, the motor is smaller and lighter in weight. In addition, efficiency is maximized because the motor is built based on the average power needed by the hybrid electric car. Whereas, in a conventional combustion motor, the size of the motor built depends upon the specifications required for the highest level of power demanded.
Miles per gallon realized range the spectrum of 40 to 60 miles per gallon. Additionally, this conserves the financial resources of the owner of a hybrid electric car.
Safer For The Environment
With the hybrid electric car being more energy efficient, another important benefit is the decrease of pollutants released in the air. This reduction in air pollution is due to less fuel being expended per mile travel. Early tests indicate that driving a hybrid electric car reduces carbon monoxide and other pollutants by as much as 80 to 90 percent. In addition to this being a positive factor upon the environment, it also has major well-being implications on the population as well.
One additional environmental benefit takes into account the conservation of our natural resources. It stands to reason that the use of a hybrid electric car operates with the use of less gasoline. A reduction in gasoline will help to conserve the limited quantities of oil that remains underneath the earth’s surface.

[…] Hybrid Cars: Do You Really Save With These Fuel Economy Cars? By: Kerry NgAt the time of this writing, there is a game being played. And in my opinion, the game is called, “confronting the US oil crisis”. The major players are the car manufacturers, the government, maybe the EPA and have course the people being the unwitting spectators that are readily lured to the show.And the game pieces are the fuel economy cars also known as hybrid cars.I will begin by emphasizing the point that I don’t know everything there is to know about this so called “impending oil crisis”. And I’m not sure if there is anyone who knows everything there is to know about this impending oil crisis too. However, I am fairly certain that the hybrid cars wouldn’t be a prospective solution to the problem; not at least for a few more years.One would notice a massive influx of hybrid cars on the roads today and yet, did nothing to help put a dent in the oil problems; but instead made a quandary with regards to car-pooling. As early as January 2005, hybrids car owners were allowed to use car pool lanes, even when driving alone. Given the fact that thousands of hybrid cars have been sold since 1999, some of the car pool lanes are becoming more congested than the regular traffic lanes they’re supposed to lighten.According to a compiled report for the past eight years made by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the pervasive presence of the supposedly fuel economy cars have saved only a measly total of 5.5 million oil barrels. It’s a rather distressing contrast against the approximate 8.5 million barrels a day to power the present usage of the light, private vehicles. But even then, researchers are very optimistic with regards to fuel economy cars. They have concluded that for fuel economy cars to have an impact, they have to at least cover more than 50% of the car population in the United States. And given the growing sales of these fuel economy cars, it’s just a matter of time.On a more personal note, can fuel economy cars help you cut back on gasoline consumption? Yes they could, depending on your driving habits. However, if you consider the initial cost of the hybrids, you may want to reconsider buying one. One of the biggest challenges of the fuel economy cars is that it takes so long to repay that extra expense of purchasing them. Even in the best-case scenario (as with one of the most popular hybrids, the Toyota Prius), five years time is already considered lucky. One could purchase a standard 4-cylinder Toyota for a much lower price and the fuel economy on these models are just outstanding. Again, this will all depend on you’re driving habits. Personally, being a city driver, I get excellent mileage with my four cylinder.So what is your reasoning to purchase a fuel economy car? Is it for the environmental aspects? Whatever it may be, personally I wouldn’t purchase a hybrid car for purely economic reasons.Kerry Ng is a successful Webmaster and publisher of The Hybrid Cars Info Blog.
