Are hybrid luxury cars able to be more stable on sales?

Washington-This question will always asked by establish automotive manufacturers. Are hybrid luxury cars able to be more stable on sales?

Kavanagh believes the trend of the Edmunds.com automotive technology will tend to hybrid luxury cars.

"Hybrid luxury cars will have a big jump and stay utilizing existing infrastructure," he said.

Kavanagh also believes hybrid will attract more attention in the future "because of the distance will be farther away and its operations will be more efficient."

 Prospects are grim electric vehicles as more and more factories stop production or go out of business.

For example, Coda Automotive is never mentioned as a new hero electric vehicle maker. Now they declare themselves bankrupt.

AFP news agency also reported the luxury vehicle manufacturer Fisker Automotive electric power has laid off 75 percent of its workforce.

It is still there on the market as a luxury vehicle brand power Tesla.

Big players like General Motors and Nissan are also still promoting their electric vehicle products but increasingly gloomy prospects.

Not many observers believe President Barack Obama's ambitions are one million electric cars on the market in 2015 will be achieved.



"People do not welcome the tumult of electric vehicles," said Rebecca Lindland, an analyst Rebel Three Media.

Lindland said the United States could not imagine electric cars as part of their lifestyle.

"People are cautious in investing in vehicle technology," he said.

Research firm JD Power & Associates and LMC Automotive reported its battery powered cars in the U.S. less than 1 percent of the number of all vehicles in the country, rather only 0.08 percent in 2012.

According to JD Power, consumers are reluctant to place electric cars because of lack of rechargeable battery, concerns over the limited mileage, and the price is expensive.

On the other hand, the analysts believe gasoline-powered cars has come closer to the willingness of consumers and not as expensive as electric cars.

Jason Kavanagh, engineering editor at research firm Edmunds.com said that pure electric vehicles will not reach the amount of one percent in the U.S. market, even in 2040.

"The time for eight hours of recharging the Nissan Leaf for example, is clearly a weakness," he said and continued "electric vehicle can not" be ready at all times ".

Last year cut production Chevrolet Volt and is pushing for a cheaper version.

Toyota and Honda also plans to reschedule the sales of pure electric vehicles for the U.S. market.

Recently Chrysler boss Sergio Marchionne said the company lose 10 thousand dollars for every battery powered Fiat 500 sold in California.

If electric cars now have a grim prospect, not so with the hybrid vehicle gasoline engines and battery technology.
