Hybrid Car Myths
If you are considering a hybrid vehicle, you may be hearing quite a bit of "talk". Some people think the hybrid car is the best thing on the market. Other people say it will just pass. Yet other people again say they think they can save a lot of money, but you're not sure it's really worth it. What's 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 just the same as electric cars: This is untrue since hybrid cars are fuel-powered most of the time. But 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 vehicle: If you are doing town motoring, you may save fuel and you may not. The same goes for highway driving. There are so just many different factors involved. It has been said that if everyone bought a hybrid car, the gas consumption would decrease by only 10%. That's not a very big decline, now is it?
A hybrid cars battery can run out: A hybrid car's 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 example). 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.
A hybrid car's rechargeable battery only lasts for 2 years: A hybrid car certainly would not be worth purchasing if this was true. A hybrid vehicle's rechargeable batteries usually come with an eight-year guaranty.
If I run out of fuel, I can continue driving on the hybrid car battery: Keep in mind that, a hybrid's battery is an assist. That means that hybrid cars still run on fuel. After you run out of fuel, the battery may keep the car running for a short while. However, the car will stop running pretty soon.
Hybrid cars will soon put normal car dealers out of business: This probably won't take place very soon. The reason for the delay has to do with the how much hybrids cost. Most people simply can't afford one. Also, people just aren't sure whether they will actually save money on a hybrid car. So, they are slow to join the rush of people who want to buy a hybrid car.
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 vehicle, 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.
Therefore, please don't worry a great deal about what people say. They probably have only listened to others passing on rumours Do your own due diligence and think it out for yourself. Use the Internet to get your information. The manufacturer's literature is also rather useful, if you stick to reading the facts and gloss over the gloss. Check that what the literature claims is also in the warranty. - 21396
