Hybrid Cars

Introduction Hybrid cars are vehicles powered by two or more power sources for moving vehicles (Lampton 2009). Types of electricity include electricity, gasoline, hydrogen, etc. As of 2011, the world's best-selling hybrid car, the Toyota Prius has been on sale since 1997 and has sold over 3 million cars all over the world. Sales of other hybrid vehicles are also growing. (Schwartz 2011) Three different powertrains are used in the production of hybrid vehicles. Only 12% of respondents know this (Personal Survey 2012).

When Toyota introduced that Prius, it advertised it as a "first hybrid". Toyota 's sole dilemma in creating consumer minds by creating new product categories is "will I buy a hybrid or non - hybrid?" Consumers who choose to continue using hybrid cars (very popular with the support of celebrities, this is the next irrational act I wrote) has only one choice. The business model of the Toyota Prius Freemium is based on the concept of reciprocity. Freemium is a business model that appeared at the appearance of Web services such as Skype. Skype offers free options for creating accounts and making calls between desktop / mobile users. When calling with a fixed phone, there is an obligation to use Skype unconsciously, so the possibility of using the created Skype account (Advanced Edition) increases.

A hybrid car is a passenger car driven by a hybrid engine. A hybrid engine is an engine that combines two or more power sources, usually gasoline and electricity. There are two types of gasoline - electric hybrid cars: parallel hybrid and series hybrid. Both use petrol electric hybrid technology, but they are used in completely different ways. In parallel hybrid vehicles, the gasoline engine and the electric motor cooperate to advance the car, but in the series hybrid gasoline engine, the gasoline engine drives the electric motor that powers the car directly, or the motor is a battery type charging . Both types of hybrid cars use a process called regenerative braking to save the kinetic energy generated by the brake in the battery. This supplies electricity to the electric motor.

As its name suggests, hybrid cars are a combination of two types of cars: electric cars and traditional gasoline cars, also known as internal combustion locomotives (ICE). Hybrid vehicles are equipped with a gasoline engine and an electric motor equipped with a rechargeable battery pack for electric drive. Hybrid cars can use two engines at the same time to increase power, or one engine depending on the type of driving. There are two types of hybrid cars: standard hybrid and plug-in hybrid (PHEV). In the standard hybrid, the regenerative brake and the internal combustion engine are used to charge the battery pack and supply auxiliary power. Unlike PHEV, it can not charge at the charging station of electric car. This will make PHEV closer to all electric vehicles. PHEV usually has a larger battery than a standard hybrid car and can only drive with electricity.
