But hybrids still cost roughly $3,000 more than their gas-powered counterparts, and can weigh up to 900 pounds more, leading to sluggish performance.

And by "performance" they mean gas mileage.

But will they have any power?

Most electric motors used for automobile’s provide great torque, especially from a complete stop.
