Im doing a school report and i need to know how hybrid cars affect the envirenment and automobile industry. Please help! thanks!
I agree, Jerry’s answer is incorrect.
A hybrid car is propelled with an electric motor along with a gas engine. Car starts with the electric motor. Electric motors develop all their torque as soon as the armature starts to move. Great for getting a car moving. Above a certain speed or if the battery is low on electricity, the gas engine starts. A hybrid gets better gas mileage around town compared with highway mpg. Every time a hybrid slows down, the electric motor instead of driving the wheels, is being driven by the wheels and produces electricity to recharge the battery.
You can use the site below to compare gas mileage rating of regular cars and hybrids.
Hybrids use less gasoline.
WHEN A HYBRID CAR BURNS FUEL IT WOULD NORMALLY GIVE OFF WATER AND STEAM THAT DOESN’T HURT THE ENVIRONMENT. WHEN A GASOLINE POWERED CAR BURNS FUEL, IT GIVES OFF CARBON DIOXIDE, THAT IS HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT.

first jerry is retarded hybrids do burn gasoline and release co2 but burn less because it has a electric motor that aids the car and burns less fuel but co2 wouldn’t be as bad if there were more trees they take in co2 and turn it into o2 an water h2o . but jerry is wrong

Take look at this site to see how one can dramatically increase a hybrid’s fuel consumption.
