Most cars on the road today use gasoline as fuel. Gas is a non-renewable resource made from oil and other fossil fuels. This means that it can run out and there will be none left. For this reason, it must be used carefully. Gas-powered cars are environmentally harmful because they give off greenhouse gases. Therefore, people should choose eco-friendly, or green, cars, which run partly or entirely on electricity. There are two kinds of power on a hybrid car, an engine runs on gas while a motor runs on electricity. They work together to make the car run more efficiently. When it moves at average speeds, a hybrid car is powered by a gas engine. During its movement, the car's kinetic energy charges the battery. When the car speeds up, it may need the help of the electric motor. Although hybrid cars mostly run on gas, the electric motor makes them more economical on fuel. Not only that, less gas means fewer gas emissions are produced in the process of burning fuel for energy. An electric car runs solely on electricity. The electricity in an electric car is stored in a battery pack. The battery, which powers a motor that turns the wheels, must be charged once the electricity runs out. Electric cars save money on fuel, which is a huge expense compared with a small fee to charge the battery. However, as electric cars can only go as far as their charge will take them, drivers need to make sure they stay close to charging stations. Those who worry about running out of power often choose hybrid options. Of course, the greenest way to travel is by walking or cycling. (Adapted from https://www.teacherspayteachers.com) 27.
