Hybrid Car Emissions are Extremely Low?
Hybrid car emissions are not extremely low, but are lower than those of conventional gasoline-powered vehicles. Hybrid cars use both a gasoline engine and an electric motor to power the car. The electric motor is powered by a battery that is recharged by the gasoline engine and by regenerative braking. This means that hybrid cars can travel for short distances on electricity alone, without producing any emissions. However, when the battery is depleted, the gasoline engine must be used to power the car, and emissions are produced. Hybrid cars typically produce lower emissions than gasoline-powered vehicles because the electric motor can help to reduce fuel consumption. However, the emissions produced by hybrid cars still contribute to air pollution and climate change.
