Hybrid vehicles have gained popularity over the years due to their efficient use of energy and reduced emissions. These vehicles combine a traditional internal combustion engine with an electric motor and battery to propel the vehicle. The internal combustion engine is used to generate power for driving at higher speeds, while the electric motor is used for lower speeds and acceleration.
The battery in a hybrid vehicle is charged through regenerative braking, which converts kinetic energy into electrical energy when the vehicle slows down. This energy is then stored in the battery and used to power the electric motor.
Hybrid vehicles also utilize a system called “start-stop,” which shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a stop and restarts it when the accelerator is pressed. This helps to conserve fuel and reduce emissions.
Overall, hybrid vehicles offer a more sustainable and efficient alternative to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles, making them a popular choice for environmentally-conscious consumers.
