As drivers are becoming more eco-conscious, it’s giving rise to the growing popularity of hybrid engine driving – but that doesn’t mean that it’s best suited to everyone.
Hybrid engines have an internal combustion engine that is combined with a battery-operated electric motor. They come in different versions – the latest Juke is a full hybrid (also known as a self-charging hybrid). This dual-power car doesn’t require charging, as it uses energy from regenerative braking to power the car battery which then feeds the electric motor.
Pros
• Lower CO2 emissions
• Electric power provides a quieter drive
• Drivers can access reduced- or zero-emission zones, including the London Clean Air Zone
• Lower running costs due to better fuel efficiency
• The petrol engine works as a back-up, so drivers don’t need to worry about distance range
• Less maintenance and more use of electric power puts less strain on the engine, meaning less wear and tear
• Retains its value well.
Cons
• Higher initial upfront cost.
Petrol engines use an internal combustion engine, where fuel is put into the combustion chamber, the spark plug then ignites air and fuel together to power the vehicle.
Pros
• Cheaper upfront cost at the time of purchase
• Petrol stations are widely accessible making it easy to refuel
• Covers more miles on a full tank than an electric car can on a full charge
• Familiar style from years of petrol engine-focused car design.
Cons
• Higher running costs, with increasing prices of fuel
• Higher CO2 emissions
• Won’t retain value well as petrol engines are gradually being phased out.
Price range, running costs and power are the main things to consider when deciding whether to invest in a petrol or hybrid vehicle – it’s entirely dependent on what purpose you need to travel for.
