Hybrid Car Myths
If you are considering buying a hybrid vehicle, you may be hearing quite a bit of "talk". Some people think the hybrid car is the best thing since sliced bread. Some people say it'll just pass. Yet other people again say they think they can save a packet, but you're not certain it's really worth it. What is the truth, and how do you separate fact from fiction with all of the stuff that is being said to you? Below, you can read and consider the usual hybrid car myths.
Hybrid cars are the same as electric cars: This is not true because hybrid vehicles are fuel-powered for the most part. They have what are called 'battery assists'. The assist is powered by a nickel-metal hydride battery pack that is rechargeable.
You are guaranteed to save money with a hybrid car: If you are doing town motoring, you may save gas and you may not. The same goes for long-distance driving. There are so just many different factors involved. It has been said that if everyone bought a hybrid car, the fuel consumption would drop by only 10%. That's not a very big decline, now is it?
A hybrid cars battery can run out: A hybrid car battery should not run flat while you are actually driving it. The engine of a hybrid car does not idle when stopped (at a red light for instance). What does it do instead then? It recharges its battery. So there's no need to worry about a hybrid car stopping on that score.
The hybrid vehicle's rechargeable battery only lasts for 2 years: A hybrid car definitely would not be worth purchasing if this was the case. A hybrid car's rechargeable batteries usually come with an eight-year warranty.
If I run out of fuel, I can keep driving on the hybrid vehicle battery: Keep in mind that, a hybrid's battery is an assist. That means that hybrid cars still run on gas. After you run out of gas, the battery may keep the car running for a little while. However, the car will stop running very soon.
Hybrid cars will soon put conventional car dealers out of business: I'm sure that this won't take place anytime soon. The reason for the delay has to do with the how much hybrids cost. Most people just can't afford one. Furthermore, people just aren't certain whether they will really save money by buying a hybrid car. Therefore, they are slow to join the rush of people who want to own a hybrid vehicle.
Hybrid cars will only save you about 88USD per annum: I did see something on the news the other day, but it may not be true. If there's something you really want and there's a lot of gossip surrounding it, you simply have got to start digging around and do of your own research. There are many different types of hybrid car, and many different manufacturers make them. This means that there may be much more involved than we have discussed here. A hybrid car may help you, and it may not, but the final decision is up to you.
So, don't worry too much about what people say. Do your own research and make up your own mind. Use the Internet to get information. The manufacturer's advertising is also useful, if you stick to reading the facts and gloss over the hype. Check that what the literature claims is also in the guarantee. - 21392
