The author makes the point that drivers must think of their needs when choosing between an electric car and a hybrid car. Select three sentences that the author includes in the article to support this point. Hybrid or Electric?These days, many people want to "go green." They know that burning gasoline causes pollution. So, people are thinking about buying an electric or hybrid car. Here is how electric cars work. Electric cars have large, powerful batteries. They send electricity to an electric motor. The motor turns the wheels. The batteries must be plugged in when they run low on energy. There are two types of hybrid cars. Both use gasoline and electricity in order to work. One type relies mostly on electric power. This car must be plugged in to receive a full recharge. The second type of hybrid car gets its power from a small gasoline engine. An electric motor serves as a backup. The electric motor also helps the car build up speed. This car recharges itself while it is running. When the driver brakes, that energy is stored in the battery. Today, gas prices continue to rise. Also, more people are worried about pollution. That’s why more "green" car models are being sold every year. Advantages of an Electric CarAn electric car costs little to recharge. It produces almost no pollution. This type of car cannot travel very far without needing to be charged. Electric cars can be recharged using any electrical outlet. Drivers can run an extension cord from their house to their car! However, charging a car this way can take a long time. Some cities have built charging stations. Recharging is much faster at one of these stations. Electric cars run very quietly. They also cost less to maintain because they have fewer parts. That makes the car more dependable. However, batteries have to be replaced every 10–15 years. These batteries are very expensive. Some cost as much as $10,000!Advantages of Hybrid CarsHybrid cars can refuel at any gas station. If the batteries cannot be recharged, hybrids can run on gas for as long as necessary. However, their gas-powered engines require upkeep. Also, the batteries wear out in time. Electric and hybrid cars have one similarity. Right now, both cost more than gas-powered cars. However, that cost should come down eventually. Drivers must consider which type of car would be better for them. If drivers need a car for short trips, an electric car is perfect. If drivers travel far from home and can’t charge a car, a hybrid would be the right choice.
