Hybrid Cars - Technology Of The Future Or Passing Fad?
There are many reasons why people should drive electric hybrid cars. They are safer for the environment than gasoline engines. They also are more fuel efficient, and cost less money to operate than a gasoline powered car. However, they also cost a little more to purchase than a similar gasoline powered car, and because they are so new it is hard to find any inexpensive used models. They also do not burn less fuel when being operated at highway speeds. Since the biggest consumers of gas and ...

The Hybrid Car
A hybrid car has a small engine
that is fuel efficient, which is combined with an electric motor
that aids the engine when additional power is needed during
acceleration. The electric motor gets its power from battery banks
which continuously charge while you are driving.
Energy is conserved when you stop because the engine is shut off
automatically. Then, when you apply gas, it automatically restarts.
The hybrid car also uses a more advanced aerodynamic lightweight
body, and combines it with low roll resistant tires that are stiffer
and narrower to help reduce drag.
In 2004, out of the 17 million vehicles sold there were around
80,000 hybrid vehicles sold. By 2005 that number had increased by
1.2% to 200,000, and it's estimated that by 2007 more than 400,000
hybrids will be sold.
There are several hybrids currently available in North America. They
include the Honda Civic, Honda Accord, Honda Insight, Toyota Prius,
and the Mercury Mariner. There are also Hybrid SUVs available - the
Ford Escape, the Lexus 400H and the Toyota Highlander, and many new
models are on the way.
The Toyota Prius holds 52% of the hybrid market with just under
108,000 vehicles. The Honda Civic is the next most popular with
25,000 vehicles.
Now that consumer support for the hybrids has arrived, auto
manufacturers are increasing the pace at which they introduce hybrid
models. Just starting to come out are the Honda CR V SUV, Saturn Vue,
Hyundai Accent, and Kia Rio are being introduced as hybrid models.
In 2007 we will see the Toyota Camry, Honda Fit, Mazda Tribute,
Chevrolet Malibu, and Nissan Altima; and 2008 will see the Ford
Fusion and Mercury Millan available as hybrids.
And as an added bonus in the United States, consumers that purchase
a hybrid will get a tax break. Those purchasing fuel-cell vehicles
will get up to $8000 in tax breaks, and those purchasing alternative
fuel vehicles that weigh less than 8,500 pounds get a $2500 tax
break. It's a nice pleasant surprise!

Honda Civic Hybrid 2004: The Weekly Driver Review
The first time I came to a stoplight, the car was so quiet I thought the engine had stalled. I tried to restart the car, but the engine was already on, and I advanced when the light changed in my favor. But the same thing happened at the next spotlight and again at the third red light I reached. It wasn't like I was driving a "high-tech" vehicle and didn't know how properly operate it. Rather, it was "only" a 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid -- the first hybrid I've had as a weekly test ...

Honda Leases Hydrogen Fuel Cell Car To Family -- Prepare For Hydrogen Hype
Honda has apparently leased the first hydrogen fuel cell car to a family. They've leased a few in the past to local governments and a few companies, but this is the first real family to get one. They're planning to lease a few more as well -- all in California (which makes some sense, given the obsession around these parts for electric and hybrid cars). Of course, while Honda may learn a little bit about how the car performs under real world conditions, at this point it's more of a publicity stunt. Real production of such cars is still a long way off. Also, the whole emphasis on "zero emissions" may be a bit of a red herring. The car itself may not emit anything, but the production of the hydrogen for the fuel cell most likely involved some level of emissions.
