December 13th, 2011 — Green Hybrid Electric Vehicle
Due to increased awareness about global warming and the mysterious rising of oil prices, there has been an increased demand for green hybrid electric vehicles. A green hybrid electric vehicle is a vehicle that is a combination of gas and an electric motor, which uses far less than the average vehicle in terms of gas, and produces less greenhouse emissions. Most green hybrid electric vehicles at least double the amount of mileage they receive to the gallon, and offer drivers a smoother ride for their money. While most green hybrid electric vehicles do cost more than the average ordinary gas guzzler, it makes up for it in a short amount of time due to the current gas prices.
As gas prices rise, the amount of gas being purchased is falling. Many consumers, especially American consumers, have been able to spend generously on SUVs and other luxury vehicles that use far more gas than regular sedans. In order to continue to allow this group to use such vehicles, it has become increasingly popular to make hybrid SUVs and trucks, that provide far more miles to the gallon. The Ford Escape, Cadillac Escalade hybrid, Lexus SUV, and the Toyota Prius are among some of the currently most popular green hybrid electric vehicles.
The Toyota Prius is currently by far the most popular, largely in part due to the superior design and room that Toyota has offered in this compact little car. Its battery design is unique and offers a lighter weight and more energy than any other current design, with a lightweight vehicle body and smaller energy that supplies more than enough power and uses the additional power to recharge the batteries. This has been a remarkable advance in battery technology, which has been the only hindrance in designing all electric vehicles. Many HEV (hybrid electric vehicles) would be far more superior if they had lighter battery designs that were more efficient.
More interesting advances have been made including using laptop batteries, especially recycled laptop batteries, to power cars that in most cases can completely outperform the most advance combustion engine. As technology and interest in demand grows, it is expected that new battery designs and lighter vehicles will be made available to consumers, both here and abroad. As ordinary vehicle sales drop due to the amount of gas they consume, the new green hybrid electric vehicles are taking center stage and encouraging a more responsible and efficient driver.
When you are planning on purchasing a HEV, be sure to read professional and consumers reviews. In addition, before you make any purchase you should compare the different vehicles, and only buy a vehicle you need. This will save you time, money, and help contribute to the green economy that is building slowly. It would also be best to take a vehicle out for a lengthy test drive before you purchase your new HEV, in order to see the difference and discern if you enjoy being behind the wheel.

December 9th, 2011 — Car Batteries, Green Hybrid Electric Vehicle
With all the new choices emerging in the field of green hybrid electric vehicles these days, it pays to you know your way around them. Since the technology isn't going to go anywhere—in fact, it looks like it's about to advance more quickly than ever—everyone should learn what makes a hybrid vehicle different than a regular car. The most important “new” part of a green hybrid vehicle is the battery.
Regular cars use batteries, of course, but it's a completely different device than the battery in a green hybrid electric vehicle. Unlike a regular car battery, a green vehicle battery is rechargeable, and can power the vehicle by itself for a certain amount of time. No matter how good the battery is in your gas-powered vehicle, if you run out of gas, you won't move an inch. A green hybrid vehicle battery is designed to be able to sustain power for so many minutes or miles.
The battery in the most popular green hybrid vehicle on the road today, the Toyota Prius, as well as other cars, is a nickel metal hydride battery often referred to as a NiMH battery. It's located in different places depending on the model. Just like a regular car battery, it's made up of several cells—this one has 168 (though the first generation Prius contained batteries with 228 cells each, so they've obviously already made strides with streamlining the batteries). It creates 201.6 volts of power, and weight about 53 kg. Each cell is about the size and shape of a D-battery. Picture how much room 128 D batteries would take up in a small green hybrid vehicle, and the need for streamlining becomes apparent.
The Ford Escape battery, for instance, has 250 cells, the Highlander Hybrid has 240. The Honda Insight only has 120 cells, but you can only get 144 volts of power, and has a more limited use time than other larger batteries in other green hybrid electric vehicles.
New technology in green hybrid electric vehicle batteries will allow the batteries to be smaller and lighter while offering maximum efficiency. The lithium-ion battery (Li-ion) holds about twice the energy as a nickel metal hydride battery, pound for pound. The change in battery technology is impressive when you look at the beginnings of electric hybrid vehicles. Where the lead-acid battery used in General Motors' 1997 green hybrid electric vehicle weight about 1200 pounds and was 8 feet long, the battery going into their new green hybrid Volt is lithium-ion, contains the same power as the old battery, but measures in at 5 feet and 400 pounds.
Because the amount of power needed to move a green hybrid vehicle increases with its weight, lighter batteries can only improve the fuel efficiency of these cars. They do so in two ways—not just because they use lighter weight batteries, but batteries that use less space, allowing green hybrid electric vehicles to be built smaller, which also decreases the vehicle's weight.

December 8th, 2011 — Cadillac, Green Hybrid Electric Vehicle
The Cadillac Escalade line of vehicles has recently released its newest incarnation, the Cadillac Escalade Hybrid 2009. This is a green hybrid electric vehicle that is based on Escalade's proprietary two mode hybrid system. The Cadillac Escalade Hybrid SUV is the first hybrid entering into the full size luxury SUV market, and it offers fuel economy gains that are significant in comparison to the base Escalade vehicles. Once you get past the strange notion that is a Cadillac Escalade hybrid, the numbers associated with this particular vehicle begin to make sense, and the experience that you gain with this vehicle compromises very little in comparison with what you would normally expect from any old regular Cadillac Escalade.
The hybrid Cadillac Escalade that is coming out for the 2009 model year is answering a question that many people are afraid to ask: There are a multitude of consumers out there that are looking for a vehicle out there that offers better fuel economy, but they absolutely refuse to have to compromise on the luxury and utility that comes with driving in a vehicle like the Cadillac Escalade. With an Escalade that is suddenly capable of getting up to 50 percent better gas mileage, Cadillac may finally have what it takes to reach out to a genre of customers that has yet to find their perfect vehicle.
The regular Cadillac Escalade gets an EPA rating of only 12 miles per gallon when driving in the city, and only 19 miles per gallon for driving on the highway. The green Cadillac Escalade hybrid version gets an estimated 20 miles per gallon in the city and 21 miles per gallon on the highway, and these are significant numbers when it comes to an improvement in fuel economy. As a reference point, consider the 2008 Toyota Camry, which features a weight of 2,400 lbs less than the Escalade Hybrid, which gets 19 miles per gallon in the city. In other words, a larger vehicle with 2,400 more lbs on it is getting the same mileage as a much smaller Toyota.
The Cadillac Escalade hybrid is a hybrid electric vehicle that looks superficially almost identical to the standard Cadillac Escalade, but mechanically these two Cadillac Escalade vehicles are completely unique beasts to one another. The Cadillac Escalade hybrid uses a two mode hybrid system that is proprietary to General Motors, one which allows for the vehicle to operate electrically with a battery, and the engine is shut off, and the other which achieves the same thing but with a standard engine. Using the electric, battery operated version achieves a much higher gas mileage than the version that runs on the regular engine alone. When you're idling at a stop light, your Cadillac Escalade hybrid electric vehicle will switch into battery mode, so while everyone around you is burning gasoline, you simply aren't. Think about it: All the power and utility behind a Cadillac Escalade, without all the gas mileage. Does it really get any better?
