SUV Hybrid Question & Answer continue



What are the advantages of electric and hybrid cars? With the electric drive 100% free emissions are cleaner sources of pollution, than hybrid cars. Keep the energy from the sun or hydrogen fuel cells. Battery electric vehicles, and sanitary conditions were subject to higher rates, higher productivity and fewer moving parts to wear. Fuel cells are emission-free hydrogen, lightweight and compact, three times more efficient than gasoline engines, a good geographical spread, and is easily fill completely safe. Thus the main advantages of electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles have lower emissions and improve efficiency.

What are the disadvantages of an electric car?
Some advantages of electric vehicles is limited, long load times and high costs of maintaining engine power to the battery. Although solar electric cars, which are equipped with solar-charged battery is larger, which is still used in batteries, which are based on the size and weight. Relations with the public, the vehicle must be regarded as a special condition: If at least 300 miles (482 km) to fill without refueling, timely and adequately respond rapidly to traffic.

What are the advantages of hybrid cars, classic cars? Hybrid cars combine the best of the best historic electric car is the successful combination. Combination of brute strength of electric-gasoline hybrid in the long term, reduce emissions and increase fuel efficiency, sometimes up to 30 miles per gallon or more classic cars. And the good news is that the HEV (hybrid vehicles), and lead to or better than hybrids, and not as secure, reliable and convenient, traditional cars.
