Hybrid

Hybrid vehicles use a combination of an internal combustion engine and one or more electric motors to power the vehicle. The electric motor can provide additional power to assist the engine or, in some models, propel the vehicle entirely under certain conditions. This dual power source allows hybrid vehicles to switch between or combine power sources to optimize efficiency. Hybrid vehicles come in various forms, including mild hybrids and plug-in hybrids, each with specific operational characteristics. Fuel economy can vary based on the model and driving conditions, and hybrids often feature regenerative braking systems to recharge the battery. They require no special infrastructure for refueling, using conventional gas stations and electrical outlets for plug-in hybrids.
