BMW’s 5-Series Just Dropped to $39,000 — And That’s Not the Real Story
Wang Yu had worked at the BMW dealership for seven years. He had seen monthly sales go from single digits to a peak of forty cars, and he remembered the days when a BMW 3 Series cost 400,000 yuan on the road and still had a waiting list.

Under the Hood of the Hybrid Market
In 2007, the Energy Independence and Security Act was passed, which later led to many regulations being pushed out by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These regulations were aimed at car manufacturers and would start the move toward cleaner and more fuel efficient vehicles in the future. With these new regulations putting pressure on the manufacturers, research and development increased on hybrid and electric vehicles, as opposed to the vehicles using the common internal combustion engines. This essay will focus on Honda’s practice of producing the Accord. This vehicle is produced with either an internal combustion engine or a hybrid option. The American Honda Motor Company should continue to produce the majority of their Accords with the internal combustion engine for the foreseeable future due to the production cost of hybrid vehicles drastically outweighing the consumer’s willingness to pay for the hybrid variant of the Accord.

The Right Way to Jump-Start a Hybrid Car Safely, Expert Tips
Hybrid vehicles combine gasoline engines with electric motors and large high-voltage batteries to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. Despite their advanced systems, most hybrids still rely on a standard 12-volt battery to power electronics such as dashboard systems, computers, locks, lights, and ignition controls. If that smaller battery dies, the entire vehicle may appear completely dead even if the large traction battery still has charge. Unlike fully electric vehicles, hybrids depend on both systems working together properly.
