Don’t mock the hybrid
A lot of people consider hybrid cars to be simply a big marketing trick. They complain about the looks, about the build quality, about the fact that in order to assemble one hybrid car, thousands of litres of fuel are burned for the transportation of the exotic parts the hybrid is made of. Well let’s debate on these questions. First of all, the hybrids look different, but according to us, they look good different. They are futuristic and very funky. Second, the build quality is not always top notch, but most of the time, those cars are very well crafted. Yes, the latest bmw has a better interior, but we don’t care about that. And third, yes, those parts come from all over the world, but this is also true for the other cars as well. The only problem with hybrids and electrics is that their batteries are kinda poisonous. However, don’t think that those batteries will be taken to the local landfill when their time comes. GM and Nissan have joined forces and the end result is spectacular. The old car batteries will be used to power entire neighborhoods. According to both companies, after 10 years of hard use the batteries in the electric and hybrid cars have to be replaced. Those batteries however are still good for other uses, for example as a back-up energy source. Even though power cuts are not so frequent, it is nice to know that you have a back-up. For example 33 batteries from Chevy Volt can power around 50 households for a period of four hours. This is impressive right?
