How Do Hybrid Cars (Ones That Use Both Gasoline and Electricity) Differ From Traditional (Gasoline-Only) Cars? Name Institutional Affiliation Course Name & Number Professor Due Date Cars are considered the best and most affordable mode of transport. With the economic rise, the choice of car varies, primarily depending on which best offers a better mileage. As a result, in the evolving automotive industry landscape, hybrid cars are emerging among the most preferred vehicles of use, just as traditional gasoline-fueled cars. A hybrid vehicle is a type of car whose primary source of power is a gas engine with one or more electric motors. A traditional car is a type of car that utilizes a spark-ignited internal combustion engine exclusively powered by gasoline. While the two are heavily relied on by people for their benefits, they differ in their engine functionality, fuel efficiency, and cost. Hybrid and traditional cars differ in terms of their engine functionality. Hybrid vehicles are powered by gasoline engines and electric motors utilizing energy stored in batteries and recharged through an interior combustion engine and braking. The electricity-fueled motor facilitates movement of the car at low speeds of about 30 mph when the car power demands are low. The gas engine takes over when the vehicle is at high speed, during a climb, or where high power is necessary (Alternative Fuel Data Center, n.d.). The engine and electric motors operate supplementary, creating a combined horsepower as powerful as a traditional car but more efficient and effective. Contrary, traditional cars utilize a spark-ignited internal combustion engine where fuel enters the car through the fuel injection system into the combustion chamber. When it combines with air, it ignites by a spark from the spark plug powering the car. The gasoline powered battery powers the engine and the vehicles’ accessories (Alternative Fuel Data Center, n.d.). The car’s electronic control module controls the fuel, when the car ignites its emission system and monitors and safeguards the car’s engine. Hybrid and traditional cars differ in fuel efficiency.
