  • Hybrid Car List

    Lexus ct200h

    The first hybrid vehicle was invented by Ferdinand Porsche in 1901, the Lohner-Porsche Mixte Hybrid. It was a horseless carriage with four wheels powered by either gasoline or electric. It is not really practical during that time because most people preferred internal combustion engine. This is because our earth is still having a lot of petroleum during that time. However, fossil fuels are limited and when the gas prices are going up, consumers started to look for hybrid vehicles that give a better fuel consumption. Does this means that the supremacy of gasoline-powered engine is coming to an end after almost a century?

    This is the list of hybrid cars and plug-in hybrid cars available for sale in the market since 1990. There are several hybrid vehicles were built before the 90s but it is not included in the list. (more…)
