Why Do We Need Hybrid and Electric Vehicles?

Why are oil reserves diminishing?

• Due to increased consumption and extraction

• Because of natural replenishment

• Owing to technological advancements

• As a result of reduced demand

One reason for the increase in oil prices is:

• increased demand

• decreased supply

• geopolitical tensions

• all of the above

Which countries are mentioned as having growing oil consumption?

Conventional vehicles contribute to global warming because they:

• emit greenhouse gases like CO2

• use renewable energy sources

• do not produce any emissions

• cool the atmosphere

According to the pie chart, which sector contributes the most to recent world CO2 emissions?

• A) Electricity and heat

• B) Transport, including road vehicles

• C) Industry

• D) Residential

• E) Other

Hybrid vehicles typically produce less CO2 emissions and pollution because:

• they use a combination of an internal combustion engine and electric motor, which increases fuel efficiency.

• they run solely on electric power, eliminating emissions entirely.

• they use only renewable energy sources.

• they have smaller engines compared to conventional vehicles.

Based on the graph, which type of vehicle energy source produces the least CO2 emissions?

• A) Petrol

• B) Diesel

• C) Electricity

Which of the following exhaust emissions is a possible major contributor to global warming?

• Oxides of nitrogen (NOₓ)

• Hydrocarbons

• Carbon monoxide (CO)

• Carbon dioxide (CO₂)

Which of the following exhaust emissions is a possible major contributor to global warming?

What is a hybrid vehicle?

• A vehicle that uses more than one form of onboard energy to achieve propulsion.

• A vehicle that runs solely on gasoline.

• A vehicle that runs solely on electricity.

• A vehicle that uses solar power only.
