Power Hybrids and Hybrid Classification
Because of the various types of hybrid vehicles, I decided to classify them according to type. For example, Crossovers, Mini, Economy, Plug Ins, and last and not least, 'Power Hybrids'. These hybrids would not be considered the best buy in terms of fuel economy. If you are looking for a fast expensive, luxury hybrid, this is the class for you. They would get better gas mileage coupled with their gas engine counterpart. At least you can do less work by taking less annoying trips to the gas station compared to gas engines. If you had any of these gas engine counterparts, you will be visiting the pump very frequently. What makes a power hybrid. 1. The power of its acceleration. Power Hybrids move from 0-60 in less than 6 seconds. 2. It's torque, measured in lb-ft of both electric motor and gasoline motor. 3. It total horse power or hybrid net power .
