are the car batteries the same as non-hybrid cars? if it’s lithium batteries, why are there no charging ports like ev vehicles?
In: Engineering
There are two main types of hybrid vehicles.
Plug-In Hybrids are basically a combo of a “normal EV” with a normal ICE vehicle, with a battery & electric motors, as well as a gas engine and transmission. Depending on the driving conditions, either (or both) systems can be working at any given time.
The other type of hybrid is generally called a “generator hybrid”, which has batteries and electric motors to drive the wheels, and a gas engine to recharge the electric battery. These are generally shorter-range vehicles, intended to not have to use the gas generator as much. Their batteries are like other electric vehicles (though often smaller), and they can also have charging ports.
