 • Tax incentives: some governments offer tax incentives to encourage hybrid purchases.Drawbacks of hybrid cars:
 • Complex technology: hybrids use a combination of gasoline and electric engines, which can add complexity.
 • High repair costs: because of the complex technology, repairs commonly cost more than normal cars.
