So, a hybrid car, or generally know as a hybrid vehicle is a vehicle that uses tow or more power sources to propel. The more common power sources are rechargeable energy storage system commonly known as RESS, a fuel powered source, air or human powered vehicle with electric or gas engine.

However, most hybrid cars are commonly referred to as hybrid-electric vehicle (HEV). This includes internal combustion and electric motors. So, what exactly is a HEV?

A HEV vehicle commonly combines a conventional propulsion system with RESS. They combine these two to achieve better fuel economy.

HEVs are considered the premium for hybrid cars. Thus, this tells us that they are more expensive. This is usually due to the car having more electronics and also extra batteries. However, some hybrid cars are considered more expensive because of their design. One important thing to note is that when you sell your hybrid car it is not the same as selling your normal car. The selling price depends on the usage of the car.

Why would people want to drive a hybrid car? The answer is very obvious. I cannot find a better way to answer this; we have one planet, why not protect it. So, other than the benefit of being environmentally friendly, what are the other benefits. We'll come to that later. In the mean while, you have to trust me on this; hybrid cars are fun to drive.

We all know that the price of fuel is just going up. And, with the higher standard of living, not many can afford. You have to trust me on this as it is proven that the fuel consumption of a hybrid car is much lesser than a conventional one.

Ever thought of having a car that has a durability of a range rover and the style of a Lexus car? I know I would love to have that. Believe it or not, a hybrid car is very durable. The cost of maintaining the gasoline engine and brakes are close to nothing. The batteries do not have to be replaced. You do the math and tell me how much you save.
