Pros and Cons of

Electric and
Hybrid Cars
 Electric cars produce zero
emissions, reducing air pollution
and combating climate change.

Electric Cars - Lower fuel costs compared to

Pros gasoline-powered vehicles.

Minimal maintenance
requirements due to fewer moving
parts.
 Limited driving range on a single
charge, which can cause range
anxiety for some drivers.

Electric Cars Long charging times compared to

refueling gasoline or diesel vehicles.
- Cons
Limited availability of charging
infrastructure in some areas.
 Combines an internal combustion
engine with an electric motor, offering
improved fuel efficiency.

Hybrid Cars - Regenerative braking systems capture

energy during braking, reducing
Pros energy waste.

Wider driving range compared to fully

electric cars.
 Higher initial cost compared to
conventional vehicles.

Hybrid Cars - Battery packs in hybrid cars can

add weight, reducing overall
Cons efficiency.

Limited electric-only driving

range compared to fully electric
cars.

Environmental
Impact
• Electric cars have a significantly lower
contribution to air pollution and
greenhouse gas emissions compared to
vehicles with internal combustion
engines.

• However, it is important to note that the

production of electric cars has a larger
environmental footprint compared to
conventional vehicles.
Future Trends
• Rapid advancements in battery
technology are improving the range and
charging times of electric cars.

• Growing investment in charging

infrastructure is making electric vehicles
more accessible.
 Electric cars and hybrid cars offer several
advantages and disadvantages in terms of
their environmental impact, driving range,
and upfront costs.

Both electric and hybrid cars contribute less

to air pollution and greenhouse gas
Conclusion  emissions compared to traditional vehicles.

Overall, the shift towards electric and hybrid

cars is driven by their environmental
benefits and the ongoing development of the
industry.
