Hybrid car festival

carbuyersnotebook asked:

Today’s automakers are looking for a way to show off their latest hybrid technology. Hybrid vehicles – vehicles with gas and electric engines working together to power an automobile – represent only a little more than 1.5 percent of the total new vehicle marketplace, but many people are looking to hybrids to ease our dependence on oil.

Recently in Madison, Wisconsin, passionate hybrid owners and the people who make hybrids rallied at the first annual Hybridfest. Today’s hybrids aren’t just for the single person commuting to work. New hybrid models have the same look, feel, and capability as a conventional gas engine powered vehicle and help out the environment with lower emissions.

With fuel prices on the rise, many are looking for any alternative to save at the pump. Hybrids work by storing kinetic in their battery that would otherwise be lost in a gasoline-only automobile.
