Survey on Hybrid Electric Vehicle

Abstract

Hybrids that can’t be recharged from an outlet aren’t generally considered to be electric vehicles, as they rely
exclusively on gasoline or diesel for energy. Plug-in hybrids, described below, are considered electric vehicles, along with
battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Hybrids that can’t be recharged from an outlet aren’t generally considered to
be electric vehicles, as they rely exclusively on gasoline or diesel for energy. Plug-in hybrids, described below, are considered
electric vehicles, along with battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Battery electric vehicles only use an electric motor
and battery, eschewing conventional engines altogether. Because they don’t use gas or diesel, battery electrics are often cleaner
and cheaper to fuel than hybrids and conventional vehicles. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles power an electric motor and battery by
converting stored hydrogen gas to electricity using fuel cell. These vehicles are only beginning to come to market, but offer
great potential as low-carbon alternative to conventional cars and trucks as they have no tailpipe emissions, reduced global
warming emissions etc.
