In Nigeria the advantage hybrid has over gasoline is fuel economy. If you buy the Toyota Camry hybrid, you could probably be using 10k fuel monthly while gasoline could be 30k. Even the prius is extremely more fuel efficient. The disadvantage of hybrid is support. As I know the car should not be pushed because the rotatable wheel parts and brakes are special, if it breaks down on the road, you need a professional to look into it, maintenance is expensive in terms of money and time. A neighbor of mine uses two hybrid, a prius and Ford Escape, he has parked the escape now for months, be like say cost of fixing the issue in recession can cause earthquake in a bank vault Modified The difference between hybrid and gasoline is hybrid has two forms of generating motion, it uses gasoline and electricity. At certain speeds hybrid cuts off gasoline (petrol, diesel or whatever) and uses only electricity which it stores in batteries just like your inverter system. Hybrid engine and some parts are different from the gasoline counterpart. Some parts cannot be interchangeable like engine components, wheel components etc. 1. Can I convert my hybrid to normal gasoline Yes, but it is not pocket friendly if done the right way, it's better to sell it and buy gasoline only. 2. Can any mechanic change my battery pack No, the hybrid battery has enough voltage to kill a man, if handled by a quack without prior knowledge, you and your hybrid will have blood on your hands. 3. Is hybrid worth it Yes, you are saving a lot of buck and doing good to the environment, just make sure you don't buy a lemon or Nigerian abused no matter how cheap. 53 Likes 2 Shares |

The basic difference is just the fuel economy. Hybrid cars have better fuel economy and are relatively greener I'm not a fan of hybrid cars because of the high cost of maintainance 1 Like |

1. Environmentally Friendly: One of the biggest advantage of hybrid car over gasoline powered car is that it runs cleaner and has better gas mileage which makes it environmentally friendly. A hybrid vehicle runs on twin powered engine (gasoline engine and electric motor) that cuts fuel consumption and conserves energy. 2. Less Dependance on Fossil Fuels: A Hybrid car is much cleaner and requires less fuel to run which means less emissions and less dependance on fossil fuels. This in turn also helps to reduce the price of gasoline in domestic market. 3 Regenerative Braking System: Each time you apply brake while driving a hybrid vehicle helps you to recharge your battery a little. An internal mechanism kicks in that captures the energy released and uses it to charge the battery which in turn eliminates the amount of time and need for stopping to recharge the battery periodically. 4. Built From Light Materials: Hybrid vehicles are made up of lighter materials which means less energy is required to run. The engine is also smaller and lighter which also saves much energy. 5. Higher Resale Value: With continuous increase in price of gasoline, more and more people are turning towards hybrid cars. The result is that these green vehicles have started commanding higher than average resale values. So, in case you are not satisfied with your vehicle, you can always sell it at a premium price to buyers looking for it. There are many advantages to owning a hybrid car. The one you will like the best is how it helps you to control your budget as gas prices continue to get higher. The other benefit that is not seen directly is how owning and driving a hybrid car impacts the environment. It reduces the dependence on fossil fuels and lowers your carbon imprint on the environment. 18 Likes 4 Shares |

If in Nigeria, there is no advantage. Even though not very expensive, the same fate that befalls expensive cars in Nigeria will be its portion -- they usually end up abandoned in a garage. Folks buy fancy cars and unique cars to show off but keeping the cars running is the ultimate challenge. 4 Likes |

driand: Only one thing nullifies all your point. It is something they don't tell you when you buy a hybrid. Just make sure you have 6 to 10k in your account as insurance because if the battery dies you are phucked. |

businessman7: Contrary to the general idea, hybrids are very inexpensive to maintain. Go for a Prius with good service history and in 1 year you will not repair a thing. It uses normal Toyota parts which are readily available when any repairs want to happen like would be in any car. |
