how do hybrid cars work?
In: Technology
There are two types of hybrid cars.
There is electric assist, which Toyota prius is based. So the electric engine is used for light acceleration or to maintain highway speed or eco speeds and the gas engine takes care of faster acceleration, manual gears, overdrive and recharging.
The second is electric primary. The electric engine takes care of all driving and the gas engine is to recharge or take over if the battery is too low.
