Informative Essay On Hybrid Cars

In the U.S., the government implements smog standards that are to be met by cars every year. With the population increasing in the world, so do the cars that are being driven everyday, which means the pollution released by cars also increases. The amount of cars on the road are not a problem, the problem is the amount of pollutants released to the atmosphere by vehicles and the amount of natural resources it takes to power these vehicles. Therefore, not many regulations can be implemented by the government on how many cars there are on the roads worldwide, but what the government can do is create laws that make the car manufacturers create cleaner and better for the environment vehicles. The governments of the world are capable of many things,

A hybrid car consists of the generation of two fuels to power a vehicle. The most efficient hybrid vehicle today have both an electric and a combustion engine that is integrated in the vehicle’s drivetrain (Hybrid Cars para. 1). The price range for a hybrid car is quite expensive, compared to that of a gasoline powered car. Also, a gasoline powered car can be refueled in a matter of minutes at the gas pump, while a hybrid vehicle depending on the capacity of the battery, can take hours to fully recharge. With the gas powered vehicles having an advantage over the hybrid vehicle in refueling time, this means gasoline powered vehicles can travel a much further distance than a hybrid vehicle at a faster rate. The hybrid vehicle is looked down by many people, not only because it is very expensive to buy one, but also it is not quite eye appealing to many. A hybrid vehicle is not going to have as much torque as a gasoline vehicle, therefore it needs a lot of help from the bodykit itself. Using aerodynamics and weight reduction, a hybrid vehicle is capable of barely matching the amount of torque a gasoline powered vehicle creates. Gasoline powered vehicles are not in any way helpful towards having a cleaner atmosphere, that is why with the purchase of a new hybrid vehicle in the state of California the owner receives a certified sticker in which it states the “vehicle has pure zero emission”, with that sticker visible on the car, the driver can use any of the HOV lanes for a quicker commute on highways (Eligible vehicle list para. 1-2). This is just one of the many benefits a hybrid vehicle owner has. Probably the most useful benefit a hybrid owner has, is the money a hybrid car will save at the fuel pump rather than that of a gas powered car. A hybrid vehicle’s price upfront is quite expensive to some, but the money being spent upfront could be reimbursed over time with
