Here's why:
* Hybrids use both a gasoline engine and an electric motor. The electric motor can power the car on its own for short distances, and the gasoline engine can provide additional power when needed.
* The car's computer system manages the flow of energy between the engine and motor. This system optimizes fuel efficiency and performance regardless of the time of day.
* The car's headlights and other lights are powered by the battery. Like any other car, the battery is charged by the alternator, which is driven by the engine.
So, while the darkness might affect your visibility, it doesn't change how the hybrid car itself operates.
