For the purpose of powering an internal combustion engine, numerous traditional vehicles use gasoline or diesel and hybrid also use an internal combustion engine and also can be fueled like normal cars as it contains electric motors and battery. The best of the hybrids van achieve significantly better fuel efficiency in comparison to the non hybrid counterparts by using both conventional engine and electric motor.

They are also helpful in decreasing pollution and ensure money saving through the fuel savings. The most advanced plug-in hybrids are equipped with large batteries and can be recharged them from an outlet through which they can operate extended distances on electricity before considering gasoline or diesel. These cars can perform much improved environmental process and can increased fuel efficiency by substituting grid electricity for gasoline.

Features of Hybrid Cars: The fuel efficiency of hybrids can be increased through the addition of the battery powered electric motors in a number of ways. It is like the switch which turns off the light bulb of our refrigerator after closing the door; it also turns off our car’s traditional engine when vehicle is stopped through which it saves fuel.

The battery is responsible for providing energy for air conditioner and accessories when the vehicle idles at stoplights or in traffics. After that, the electric motor will start the vehicle to move again. If it is necessary, the conventional engine will reengage in order to provide more power for acceleration.

There is an another feature of regenerative braking through which we can save the fuel as conventional cars consider friction brakes to slow down as well as dissipating the vehicle’s kinetic energy as heat. Through this feature, some of the energy can be captured and turned into electricity. It can be stored in the batteries.

With the help of this stored electricity. We can run the motor and accelerate the vehicle.  Electric motor also allows for more efficient engine design. This is the power assist feature which can help in reducing the demands on hybrid’s gasoline engine and can be downsized and operated more efficiently.

The gasoline engine produces the less power but if it is combined with the electric motors, the total power of the system can exceed that of a conventional vehicle. They are the most beneficial hybrids which use electric drive that allows the vehicle for driving entirely on electricity and use less fuel.
