Advantages and disadvantages of hybrids car

Advantages of hybrid car

Hybrid cars are often refered as the 'car of era'.The advantages of hybrid cars are described bellow
1.Hybrid cars reduce the dependency on fossil fuel which directly affects the fuel prices.
2.The hybrid cars are more reliable,comfortable than any other traditional cars due to thier tax benefits.
3.Hybrid cars provide more cleaner emissions with less CO than any conventional cars having internal combustion engine.
4.There is no need to charge the battery by an external source due to regenerative braking technology.
4.Special warranties are provided for the batteries,the electric motor and the other costly items.
5.It is experimentally observed that hybrid cars provide more mileage than any traditional cars.

Moreover at the traffic place hybrid cars use electric battery as a power source with less emissions.In the hybrid car the electrical energy is used while starting up of the car and it's low speed ranges which will help to impart a check to tail pipe emissions.As the automobile is increasing the toxic ingradiants are also becomming sever for the world.The decrease in tail pipe emission will be a great advantage for the environment.

Disadvantages of hybrid cars

Though hybrid cars have many advantages it has some disadvantages too.But it should be noted that the advantages far exceed the disadvantages.Some disadvantages of hybrid cars are pointed bellow
1.High cost: hybrids cost anywhere from $2000 to $5000 more thier non-hybrid version.
2.More weight due to battery pack.
3.In the case of an unfortunate accident there is a possibility of exposure of high voltage wire.
4.Spare parts maybe hard to find and costly.
5.Generally hybrid cars have lower acceleration than their normal counterpart.

How hybrid cars work?

Hybrid cars are the most promising cars at the present era.Hybrid cars integrate both the power of the conventional gasoline engine and the electric motor.A high power battery is used to run the electric motor which itself get recharged when the car is decelerating.the gas engine can also assist the battery in recharging.So there is no need to plug in the battery for charging.

There are mainly two types of hybrid cars according to the type of electric motor the have.One of them is mild hybrids and another is full hybrids.

Mild hybrids is mainly operated by gasoline engine but an additional power is added by an electric motor.This electric motor is not capable of running the car alone.Honda's power assist technology in it's hybrids,civic and Insight is an example.

Second type of hybrid is called full hybrids.In full hybrid cars,both the gasoline engine and electric motor are capable of running the car.But the gasoline engine drive the the at a high speed and the electric motor drive the car at comparatively low speed.Toyota Prius and Ford Escape both uses the same technology.

Both the mild or full hybrids are environment friendly and capable of providing lower emissions and better efficiency.The internal combustion engine installed in the hybrids is generally small in size as compared to other internal combustion engine.The IC engine is small in size because an electric motor is also installed there for assistance.

Hybrid car

What is hybrid car?

Hybrid cars may be defined as the car which has at least one alternative source of energy and IC engine.Hybrid vehicles employ both the traditional internal combustion engine and electric battery or generator to provide motive force and energy recovery.The hybrid car which uses an electric rechargeable is called electric hybrid car.These newly launched hybrid cars are more efficient,reliable and affordable.
Why should you choose a hybrid car?

There are many significant reasons behind choosing a hybrid car.Among them the most important reasons are given bellow-
1.Hybrid cars are environment friendly.They can reduce pollution by 90%.
2.Hybrid cars are economical in medium and long run than normal gasoline cars.
3.Hybrid cars are more efficient,reliable than electric car as they have fuel as alternative source.

Time for buying a new car

Generaly when a car is launched in the market the price of the car is so high that it is not possible for general buyer to buy the car.So some strategy should be taken for buying the car at a low price.In crismass people get themself busy with buying crismass gifts.And many renowable company offer thier new car at a verry low price.Moreover from july to october car dealer become busy to clear thier showroom for the new model car.Due to this they offer these old model car at low price for buyers.

New car buying tips

Buying a new car may be the bigest purchase in your life.So this task should be done in a proper way for safety.For buying a new car you will have to first decide three things one is the amount of budged,type of car and lastly the model of car.

What to do in showroom

In the showrom you have to tell about the car that you have already chosen for seeing practically.You can take your family to show the car and get thier advices which actualy has a great importance to you.You should tell about your car to the salseman who will show the car and explain the feature of the car.

Test driving

In a shortime test driving anyone can't be able to chose the right car.So during test driving you should drive fast at a range of rpm 2000 to 3000km.Because in nomal condition weather it is comfortable for you or not.At a high speed brake system of the car should be checked.

Choosing the colour

The colour of the car is generally vary from person to person.Before buying car colour should be decided due to the unavailability of the colour in the desired model.But preferance should be given to the average look of the car.Black and white colour are realy verry deficult to maintain due to scratches.I will give prefferance silver or matellic colour of car

Evaluation of car

Let us consider that you have decided to buy a used car which is worthy to you.For buying a used car you need to search net,lobangs of your friends or head down to car marts in singapure.But in actual practice it is not possible for us to check the car as we are not machanics.
So before purchasing a used car it should be evaluated.If any dealer or individual refuses to let the car evaluation,you can be than sure that something has happaned under the hood.A reliable dealer or a honest individual would gladly give his car for a complete evaluation.STA evaluation centre is the first which evaluate car with a computerised system.In this process the following parts are checked:

a.Chasis frame aligment
b.Engine condition
c.Transmission system
c.Brake system
d.paintwork
e.Bodywork
f.Instrument pannel
g.Exhaust/Engine noise
h.Steering system.
After inspection STA centre will give a grade of the car from which you will be able to know that wheather the car is road worthy or not.

Inspection of the interior and exterior parts of car

check the mileage

Generaly the car with high mileage for example 2,500000km,is not favourable for purchasing.So one must check the mileage of the car while purchasiong a car.The car with mileage 2000km is genaraly considered as a good car.Beaware of cars which may have undergone restoration after a serious accident or cars which have not been properly maintained.If the average mileage be mre than the considerable levels,it will give the opportunity to lower the price.

Check all lights

Before buying a car the lights all around the car should be checked properly.Dssboard light,headlight,ceilling light,hazard light,turning light,map light,parking light,backup light,brake light,side light etc must be checked while purchasing a used car by turing off and on button.

Check the chasis

Pits,scratches,holes indicates the poor condition of the car which should be covinient while purshasing the car.However these type of damages are not major problem for car but the advantagages of these problems can be taken giving low price to the seller.

Check the rust

Little rust on the exterior part of the car such as screw is not considered severe.But if rusts are present in the iterior part such as inside the carpet,you should turned around and go for another one.

New car vs used car

The most significant advantage of buying a new car is it's warrenty.Due to this the buyers get free services from the company in any major problem.On the other hand used car has no such waranty thats why it has less demand than new car.Although the interior and exterior part of a new car may be colean or free from scratches but sometimes a new car may come with problems associated with poor designs and manufacturing defects.As a consumer it is difficult to purchase a used car which suits to him compare with prices.So if anyone has the ability to purchase new he should purchase the new car.But if we observe the above mention graph it is clear that at present consumer are more atracted to quality based used car than new car due to it's low prices.

Diesal or petrol engine

Now a days dieasal engine is more preferable to consumer than petrol engine due to it's less noise and less fuel consumtion property.All around the world the demand for the diesel engine are growing slowly.Of course there are some definite reason for it.Diesal engine have achieved more mileage figure,produced better torque at a lower rebs.Moreover newer generation of diesal engine releses clear emissions which is less harmful for environment than petrol engine emissions.
