Hybrid Cars by James Gunaseelan Our transportation problem appears to be a twofold one. First, gasoline has become painfully expensive, making car travel much more challenging on the pocketbook than it used to be. And although the cars of today tend to use more gas than the more fuel efficient autos of the last century, few families are inclined to try to fit a large family into a small car of old. Particularly in light of the new federal regulations regarding the use of large car seats for small children. The other issue that we face is the deterioration of our environment as we know it. We all realize that the gas guzzling, pollution emitting vehicles of today are contributing to the problem. But few of us know what to do about it. Hence, the arrival of hybrid cars to the auto marketplace. Hybrid cars are more fuel efficient and less polluting than most of the cars of today. They get much better gas mileage, as much as 20-30 miles more for each gallon of gas. This makes hybrid cars easier on the pocketbook as well. But how do these cars work, and are they really the solution of the future for our many fuel and environmental concerns? When you learn more about these vehicles, you may agree that hybrid cars are indeed the transportation that we will all be looking at in the not so distant years ahead. The term "hybrid" generally refers to something that is made up of two different substances. In the case of a hybrid car, the two different substances are the manner in which the car runs, and this consists of a motor that runs on two different power sources. The traditional gasoline engine is combined with the more environmentally friendly but less stable electric motor. This type of power combines the best of both worlds, to create a hybrid car that is friendly for the environment because it is less polluting and easier on the pocketbook because it uses less gas to run. In a hybrid car, there is usually a small gas engine that is designed to be more fuel efficient than many of the other gas engines on the road today. It is combined with an electric motor that assists the car when accelerating, thereby using less gas to run the vehicle. The power behind this electric engine is batteries inside of the vehicle that actually recharge themselves while the car is running. This alleviates the need for recharging time that is often required for many electric cars. It also allows the car to go much longer distances without a need for refueling or recharging.There are a number of auto manufacturers that have hybrid cars on the market today, including Honda, Toyota and Lexus. However, the popularity of these vehicles has made them difficult to find in many locations. The good news is that there will be many more hybrid cars to choose from in the months and years ahead. Are hybrid cars the wave of the future? The verdict is still out, but all signs are pointing to a definite yes.
