How do hybrid cars work?

A hybrid car uses a combination of two different types of energy to power its wheels: electrical energy and chemical energy. These vehicles use a combustion engine and at least one electric motor.

🔋 What does Full Hybrid mean?

Full hybrids combine a combustion engine and an electric motor to maximize efficiency. The battery is recharged only through energy recovery during coasting.

⚡ What does Mild Hybrid mean?

Mild hybrids use the electric motor only in certain phases, such as starting off or driving at low speeds.

🔌 What does Plug-In Hybrid mean?

Plug-in hybrids operate like full hybrids, but can also travel 50–70 km in electric mode, depending on the model. The battery can also be charged via a plug-in socket.
