(b) Smaller Engines Hybrid systems tend to be smaller than regular engines. This means the system is lighter and thus needs less power to do the same work, and, as a result, less fuel.
However, disadvantages of hybrids include:
(a) Lower Power Output Hybrids are usually designed for fuel economy, not power and thus they tend to produce less power than their full fuel counter parts.
(b) High Maintenance Costs The complexity of hybrids mean they cost more to maintain.
2. Fully Electric cars are powered exclusively by electric motors. They usually have batteries, where electricity is stored, or collect electricity from an external source. Advantages of these engines include:

(a) No Emission Because fully electric engines do not burn anything, there are no emission, and regulation to worry about.
(b) Low Operating Costs Electricity is reasonably cheap in most parts of the world, and, as a result, it is cheaper to run electric engines; and, in a situation where there is access to renewable energy,
e.g. wind, solar, there could be no operating costs.
There are some disadvantage to this technology, a few include:
(a) Long recharging times Battery operated electric engines take much longer, anywhere from 20 minutes to a few hours, to recharge, than standard engines, which can be relled in a few minutes.
Also, because recharging requires special equipment, getting stranded is a bit more likely.
(b) Limited Range Range refers to how long (or far) the engine can run before depleting all its charge.
This, coupled with the long recharging time, means continuous work is a bit more stressful. Also, electric engines usually drain faster than they recharge, so keeping it plugged in would not be enough to keep it running indenitely.
By 2035, a decrease in demand for transport fuel is predicted,
