Task 5 — Compare & Persuade
Your spouse is planning to buy a new vehicle and is debating between a hybrid car and a fully electric car. Look at the two options below and persuade them to choose one over the other.
Choose the option you will argue for:
Initial Cost: $35,000. Fuel: Gasoline + Electric. Range: 800-900 km (combined). Refueling: Quick at gas stations. Maintenance: Standard. Environmental: Lower emissions than gas. No home charger required.
Initial Cost: $45,000 (after incentives). Fuel: Electricity only. Range: 400-500 km (electric). Refueling: Charging stations (30-60 min) or home (overnight). Maintenance: Lower. Environmental: Zero tailpipe emissions. Home charger highly recommended.
