Is hybrid or electric better for the environment?

I'm considering buying a Toyota Prius, but I'm not sure if a hybrid or electric car is better for the environment. What are the ecological benefits and drawbacks of each option?

In terms of emissions, both hybrid and electric cars are better for the environment compared to traditional gasoline cars. However, electric cars produce zero emissions and are powered solely by electricity, making them the most eco-friendly choice.

If you want to further reduce your carbon footprint, you can opt for a plug-in hybrid, which allows you to charge the car's battery using electricity. This way you can reduce your reliance on gasoline even more.

On the other hand, if you drive long distances frequently, a hybrid car might be a better choice for you since they have a longer driving range compared to electric cars.
