what happens during the regenerative braking process with HEVs? Answer: The energy from the brakes is absorbed and distributed back into the battery to recharge inselfwhat is the tax deduction for this year if a person uses a HEV car? It depnds on the car but its somewhere between $1500 to $2400 depening on the carwhat are the benefits of Fuel cell vehicles going to be? Better MPG ratings, lower emissions, better for the economywhy aren't FCVs used in production line vehicles. The cost

Uses the braking action to spin the generator/motor that is attached to drive line.Pretty sure this is different state to state.Zero emissions, but the hydrogen producing plants require energy that comes from conventional power plants. They dont have that many hydrogen stations and it requires alot of energy to produce H2. (process called electrolysis)

I can tell ya a few reasons why NOT to get one....1.They're WAAAAY overpriced2.Ugly as sin3.Seriously,how often are you gonna drive 34mph or less?4.Not very spacious5.Pathetic performance6.The cell that gets recharged is a huge pack that has a life expectancy of 5-7years.Replacement costs in range of $8000 & up.(Salesman leave that out did he?)Quite a huge cost to save money.
