June 27th, 2011

One of the biggest money makers for auto insurance companies is the roadside assistance options that they offer to their clients.

Not mentioning about electric cars when speaking about hybrid cars would probably be unfair. The sales rate of electric cars has also increased. An electric car uses electric motors and motor controllers for impulsion, in place of more general propulsion methods such as the internal combustion engine (ICE). Electric cars are a particular variety of electric vehicle created or customized for use on the road.

They are usually powered by on-board battery packs, and as such are battery electric vehicles (BEVs). Other on-board energy storage techniques that are anticipated to come into use in the future include ultra capacitors, fuel cells, and a spinning flywheel which stores kinetic energy. » Read more: Green Revolution by Auto Car Industry
