You need to plug in the car
Usually, whenever you talk about electricity, almost everyone’s mind jumps to the outlet. In that, you have plug-in a hybrid every night before you go to sleep. However, that could not be more untrue. Hybrids today don’t need to be plugged in; engineers developed regenerative braking.  Whenever you brake, that friction and energy that is produced is harnessed and stored in multiple batteries in the car.  However, there are some hybrids that you do plug in that get better gas mileage because they stay plugged up over night. There are some hybrids that have regenerative braking and plug in technology together.

Hybrid batteries need to be replaced.
With the charge of a hybrid battery staying between 40%- 60%, automakers have greatly extended the hybrid’s battery. There is, however, the standard warranty that comes when you buy a hybrid that includes the batteries, so if something goes wrong you’ll have the warranty.

Hybrids are a new phenomenon
The first gas-electric patent was filed in 1905.  However, when the self starter was introduced in 1913, gasoline engines became more prevalent and easier and cheaper to make.

People buy hybrids only to save money on gas
Saving gas at the pump is probably the foremost outcome of owning a hybrid, but the majority of owners actually have them for environmental reasons. A hybrid car sends a message. It sends a message that “I care about the environment.” That’s what some people want others to know about them. (bumper stickers are cheaper)

Hybrids are expensive.
Beginnings in 2006, hybrids were available in 10 different models. The price varies largely. Some hybrids barely cross the $13,000, while other companies have luxury hybrids that can cost up to $60,000.  Hybrids do add about $3,000 to the price tag of any car, but that figure is dropping rapidly.
