Abstract
In this research, we study the feasibility of the electric and hybrid cars in compression with the fuel one in Palestine from economically and environmentally view. Economically, by calculated total cost of ownership (TCO). Environmentally, by calculated the amount of the carbon dioxide emissions
released.
We started by doing a survey about the car types in Palestine and the most common ones. Then we took all the information about each type of cars from different companies like Nissan , Hyundai , etc as the Purchase price, Licence and the annual operation cost like fuel consumption, maintenance, insurance.
After that we analyzed the data and calculated the TCO for each car in two scenarios , first one for the Cash Prices and the second one is payment in installments with the travels 10,000 km/year, 20,000 km/year and finally 30,000 km/year.
Finally, we draw the curves to view the results, which indicate that the electric cars are visible if the car travels anuualy more that 10,000 km. from environmet view, the amount of carbon dioxide released are more than gasoline cars and that is because of the uses of the fossil fuels to generate electricity here in Palestine.
