3. How it Works: Regenerative Braking: Electric motor cause resistance causing the wheels to slow down. As a result the energy from the wheels turns the motor which acts as a generator. This normally wasted energy then turns into electricity; which is stored in the battery until it is needed Electric Motor Drive/Assist: This provides additional power to help the engine in accelerating, hill climbing, and passing. Smaller, more efficient engine. Automatic Start/Shutoff: This allows for the engine to shut off when the car stops, and the to restart when the car begins to move again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV2W36fPWng

4. Clean energy Reliable and comfortable Perform equally as well as normal gas powered cars Mileage Less greenhouse gas emissions Higher cost Lower acceleration Advantages:Disadvantages:

5. Impacts on Environment Less carbon dioxide emissions Conserves more gasoline Popularity Replace normal gasoline powered cars
