Classifications of the Hybrid Electric Vehicles: The hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) are the special types of vehicles that make use of two things together‚ i.e. conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) and an electric propulsion system‚ which together help in achieving fuel efficiency as compared to any other vehicle. The degree of efficiency and improvement provided by the HEVs depend on the degree and the type of propulsion systems they make use of. The engineers have succeeded in adding

car still uses to a greater or lesser extent a conventional engine‚ therefore compared to alternative power sources – such as hydrogen fuel cell or electric – a hybrid car is not as green. * Heavier – a hybrid car not only houses an internal combustion engine but also need an electric motor and battery pack(s)‚ this adds weight and eats into space. While technology has resulted in battery and motor downsizing‚ some hybrids still have smaller cabins or loadspace than conventional cars. * there

Electric cars are about three times more efficient than cars with an internal combustion engine. A pure-battery electric car uses energy stored in the rechargeable batteries‚ which can be recharged by common household electricity. Compared with regular gasoline cars‚ electric cars do not produce tailpipe emissions‚ does not
