Synopsis: When car shopping, it's good to research your options.
Excerpt:
How does a hybrid-electric car work? A hybrid-electric car is partly powered by a gasoline engine that is both lighter in weight and smaller in size than a standard gasoline engine. It also is partly powered by an electric motor and a battery. These power sources run at the same time, but not equally.
Question:
If you saw two engines, one from a hybrid car and one from a standard car, how could you tell which one belonged to the hybrid?
- The hybrid car engine would be smaller.
- The hybrid car engine would be heavier.
- The standard car engine would be lighter.
- The standard car engine would be smaller.
