The hottest new thing to do these days is to somehow get electrified. There are all kinds of ways to do this, like going to parties or just watching a really cool science fiction movie, but you could just buy an electric car.
That's just what people are doing too. Well, they're buying electric cars that aren't totally electric. But these cars are close enough. They're taking the old Mercedes and tossing it. The next thing they do is lie down in their beds and dream of what other options they might have had. Was it possible for them to buy a car that was completely electric?

This is because electric cars get their power from batteries, hydrogen fuel cells, or the sun. That's what makes electric cars emission-free. Hybrid cars don't have the kind of track record that electric cars have in general efficiency. In fact, hybrid cars may just need about the same amount of maintenance that conventional cars do.
An electric car cannot go more than 100 miles without having to be recharged
What makes it difficult to own an electric car is the exorbitant cost associated with doing so. The battery in an electric car needs to be continually recharged. On the other hand, hybrid cars charge up on their own. That's the biggest advantage of a hybrid car over an electric car.
Those are the main differences between electric and hybrid cars. Hybrid cars are the newest and hottest things in the automotive market right now, and you might be able to see the reasons why. Electric cars are not really available for mass
use. They are still being worked on and improved.
For public acceptance, a car has to meet certain conditions. One of those conditions is that the car must drive 300 miles betwe
