A gasoline-electric hybrid vehicle runs part of the time on a gasoline powered engine and the rest of the time on an electric battery How does driving this kind of vehicle conserve fossil fuel?
A. It shortens commute times by being faster than a traditional vehicle.
B. II can replace the need for oil and coal-burning power plants
C. Its battery is charged by solar energy rather than by the fuel- burning engine
D. It travels farther than a traditional vehicle using the same amount of fuel
B. It can replace the need for oil and coal-burning power plants
By using electricity from the battery as a power source, the hybrid vehicle reduces the need for gasoline, which is a fossil fuel. This can help reduce overall demand for fossil fuels and reduce emissions from burning gasoline.
