Rising Gasoline Prices Could Revive Sales of Hybrids, All-Electric Cars

摘要

Rising gasoline prices should prompt US consumers to buy more hybrid and all-electric cars in the coming months, possibly reversing two years of declining sales for such alternative vehicles. In 2010, US consumers bought 274,000 hybrids vehicles that run on a combination of electricity and gasoline. That's down from 291,000 in 2009 and 316,000 in 2008.
