For example, a Camry hybrid or something similar. How do they drive? Is performance lacking?

Also, how does it impact the car’s reliability and longevity? And are repairs complicated or expensive? Thanks for the insight.

I’m trying to find out how much nickel goes into a standard hybrid car battery.

It would be great if the answer could include the nickel amount in lbs.

Thanks

I’m wondering if the cost of your electriciy bill will go up a lot when you start charging your new hybrid car (such as a Prius)? Does it completely offset the MPG savings in gasoline? Do you break even? Does it cost MORE in electricity?

CRJPILOT asked:


Ok so with all of the inefficiencies of the reciprocating internal combustion engine why don’t they make a hybrid car powered by a small centrifugal turbine that would work like an aircraft APU. The car would have an all electric drive system and the turbine would produce electricity for the electric motor. The FADEC computer would control fuel flow to the turbine as more power was needed. Trains have been doing this for decades so why not cars? A plus would be that you could use any liquid or flammable gas for fuel.
Ok some peolpe missing the piont it is an electric car not driven directly by the turbine but buy the electricity produced by a generator connected to the turbine so no change in RPM the generator would run at the same RPM for optimal electrical production a change in load would just reqiuer more fuel

Because if you use electricity to run your car instead of gas, then you are getting your energy from nuclear power plants, which is bad?

You may select a hybrid car currently on the market, one that will be available in the future, or a concept hybrid car.

I called the dealership and they did not have an answer for me, they told me to call the company that I have my car loan with. That doesn’t sound right to me.

aen935 asked:


I’ve heard that you need to replace the battery in hybrids every 3 or 4 years, which defeat the purpose of saving money on the gas because they’re so expensive. I’ve tried looking this up online and I read anywhere from 3 to 9 years. I wouldn’t mind replacing it after 6 or 7 years, but 3 is unexceptable. Does anyone know a cheaper but quality hybrid car? I’m really liking the Honda Civic Hybrid, but I don’t know many others. Any suggestions and/or advice? Thanks!

Shuson asked:


i know that braking is used to charge the battery in a hybrid car, but why can’t the wheels spinning be used in a similar fashion? electricity is generated by turing turbines of various kinds, windmills, waterfalls, even in a coal buring electrical plant electricity is generated by spinning turbines. whould not a car using the same principle be able to run just about endlessly?

Link Building

Chas M asked:


They just came out with their 2009 models and there is still no sign of a hybrid car. They still have the hybrid Escape but they still don’t have a single hybrid sedan. How hard can it be for them to design a hybrid sedan?
