What is a Hybrid Vehicle, Exactly?
Most hybrid vehicles use both a gas engine and an electric motor. The car stores the energy produced while you drive and brake, and as you travel the car makes decisions about which fuel source to use, based on hundreds of automatic split-second decisions. Because the car switches power sources automatically, you end up using less gasoline than a conventional vehicle—some of the time you’re running solely on the hybrid’s battery, sometimes on regular fuel power.
