Abstract

The increased demand for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly transportation has encouraged the development of hybrid vehicles and pure electric vehicles. Hybrid vehicles integrate an internal combustion engine with an electric motor to achieve fuel efficiency and lower emissions, while pure electric vehicles operate using purely electrical energy with zero tailpipe emissions. This comparative study of hybrid vehicles and pure electric vehicles examines their working principles, performance, energy efficiency, environmental impact, and required infrastructures. This was done by conducting a review of the literature on the subject and testing its technical and economic parameters. As a result, it was discovered that hybrid vehicles are transitional technology in areas where charging infrastructures are scarce, whereas pure electric vehicles promise more long-term sustainability and environmental benefits. Accordingly, the study concludes that future wide-scale applications of purely electric vehicles will depend on continuous improvement in battery technology and extension in charging infrastructure.
