In a city like Bellingham, we know that you care about the environment and may choose to drive a hybrid car. The first hybrid was created in 1899 by Ferdinand Porsche; it used a gasoline engine to supply power to an electric motor that powered the vehicle's front wheels. The demand for hybrids began to wane, however, when Henry Ford started the first automobile assembly line in 1904.

Electric vehicles are extremely popular for their dependability, advanced technology, quick acceleration, low carbon footprint, and cost-saving benefits such as fuel savings and federal and local state tax credits. Most Electric vehicles are powered by a battery, which stores and collects electricity while it is plugged in.

A car's air conditioning works like any standard air conditioner, but on a much smaller scale. It's important to note that a vehicle's a/c doesn't produce cold air, it removes heat from the air entering its system. The refrigerant in your vehicle alternates between a gaseous and liquid state. When refrigerant in its cool liquid form is exposed to warm air in your vehicle's condenser, it evaporates into a gas and absorbs or removes heat from the surrounding environment.The heated refrigerant then moves to a separate part of the system, where the gas is compressed into liquid by the compressor.
