For many car buyers, hybrids seem like a great compromise between gasoline and electric vehicles, offering less pollution, better fuel efficiency, and the convenience of not worrying about battery power.
Many experts and environmental groups criticize hybrids, arguing that fuel savings are exaggerated and that hybrids do not sufficiently reduce greenhouse gas emissions needed to combat global warming.
Sales of hybrid cars in the United States increased by 33 percent from January to July, making up 11 percent of new car sales according to government data.
Conventional hybrids, or mild hybrids, utilize the energy from braking to charge a battery, allowing the electric motor to assist the gasoline engine and improve overall efficiency.
