hybrid vehicles
Gas-and-electric automobiles
Hybrid vehicles combine two or more power sources, typically a conventional internal combustion engine with an electric motor and battery.
The systems work together to improve fuel efficiency—the electric motor assists during acceleration and captures energy during braking.
She switched to a hybrid to save on gas.
Plug-in hybrids can recharge from external sources, extending their electric-only range.
