Hybrid Car Options

For You…

Hybrid cars are becoming popular over the conventional cars due to more fuel efficiency & almost zero no emission.

But still people are using gasoline powered vehicles due to lack of knowledge on the options available in the market.

The choice to switch to a hybrid can be simple if you

have complete idea about the multiple hybrid

technologies available in the market.

So, let’s here discuss the most

popular options available to

today’s consumers…

Components: Electric motor

Gasoline engine

Computer controls Battery

Generator

The electric motor handles all the driving

Gasoline engine recharges the battery pack

The Gasoline engine turns the

generator that powers the electric

motor

Batteries can be recharged from

Regenerative braking

Engine

Generator

A controller in the transmission will determine

how much power is needed to propel the vehicle

& whether to pull it from the battery or the

engine or generator.

Components: Electric motor

Gasoline engine

Computer controls

Battery

The engine & motor are parallel to each other and are attached to the transmission to directly turn on the wheels.

Fuel tank supplies gasoline to the engine while the generator charges the batteries.

The computer controls are needed to coordinate the working of the engine and the motor that whether to run simultaneously or independently depending on the power needs.

The battery can be recharged from regenerative braking or by the help of motor.

Mild hybrid systems are much closer to conventional cars with gasoline engines.

Electric motor in a mild hybrid acts as a power booster means it does not propel the vehicle on its own.

It only assists the gasoline engine to do all the tasks and helps in saving fuel by shutting off the gasoline engine when the vehicle is stopped.

Also it helps the gasoline engine to improve its efficiency while restarting the vehicle.

Full hybrid uses a gasoline engine as the primary source of power while the electric motor provides the additional power when needed.

It can use the electric motor as the sole source to run the vehicle without using the traditional engine.

This feature defines the full hybrid unique and makes them more fuel efficient than the traditional engines.

Plug-in hybrid cars offer full-efficiency benefit to its users and get most of its power from the batteries.

It also gives its users a dual mode facility that they can use the electric mode for short trips and switch to blended mode i.e. both gas & electric mode as per their need.

The unique feature here that the users able to plug-in to household electricity when the car is not in use.

This increases the mileage and helps in fuel saving.
