Difference Between Electric And Hybrid Cars
Introduction:
In the last decade, there was a great concern of the pollution caused by the fueled cars emissions and most people agree with that new alternatives must be used. Electric cars and Hybrid cars are the best-known alternatives, but the question is: which one is the best and more efficient. This report will talk about Electric and Hybrid cars in history, composition, comparison, and the future of cars, showing that the electric cars will be the future cars.
1- History:
The Electric car wasn't invented by a specific inventor; however, it was a result of a series of discoveries that began in the 1800s. In the beginning of that century, inventors in USA, Hungary, and the Netherlands started playing the idea of battery powered cars …show more content…
Electric motors are more efficient than combustion engines because engines losses high amount of burned fuel as a heat, resulting high proportion of energy loss. This means electric cars are more efficient than hybrids. However, hybrid cars increase their efficiency when using the electric motor only and the engine is not too heavy which gives the car less weight. Jack Stewart reported that a research has proved hybrid cars are more efficient in crowded cities and traffic jams.
3.2- Performance:
One of the biggest drawbacks for electric and hybrid cars that most people have a bad idea about electric's and hybrid's performance. Hybrid cars in high speeds usually use the internal combustion engine, which means it nearly have the same of the most conventional cars, however, its engine is smaller and lighter compared with that in the fueled cars. Although, many electric cars have relatively small electric motor that gives them low acceleration, there is a good number of electric vehicles that have a powerful motor that have a high torque that can almost overtake a 6 cylinders car. Recently there are some car manufacturers like BMW and Ford have produced a sport electric …show more content…
While, the hybrid needs more maintenance for the engine similar but less than the conventional cars. However, the electric motor and the battery need some checks.
3.4- Advantages and disadvantages:
Both cars are known to be a good eco-friendly or in other words green cars, but every car has some advantages and disadvantage. Electric and hybrid are quiet and smooth cars, especially the electric, because it has only an electric motor which nearly make no sound. Harmful emissions are reduced in the hybrid. However, the electric car release almost zero emissions. One of the affective drawbacks for electric vehicles is the recharging, which take long time. While most hybrid cars do not require charging because it is automatically charges while using it, thanks to the regenerative braking that charge the battery while slowing down. Despite being eco-friendly, there a major concern about the increase in disposal and the more needed recycling of the
