Advice on buying and driving hybrid cars in Ireland
What is a Hybrid?
Hybrid cars combine a conventional petrol or diesel engine with an electric motor. The electric motor assists the engine so that the car consumes less fuel and emits less emissions. Hybrid cars can save you considerable costs on fuel and even recharge their batteries without being plugged in.
Hybrid vs Electric – What is the difference?
Electric Vehicles are fully powered by an electric motor and rely on a battery which needs to be charged. Hybrid and Plug-in hybrid cars on the other hand contain an electric motor that will power the car but also combine a petrol/diesel engine that can work in tandem with the electric motor.
Are hybrid cars popular in Ireland?
Almost two thirds of Irish motorists plan to purchase an electric or hybrid car in the near future according to the latest edition of the Carzone Motoring Report. Similarly, searches for hybrid cars on Carzone have increased.
