* Gasoline: Hybrids use gasoline for most of their power needs, just like traditional gasoline cars.
* Electricity: Hybrids use a battery-powered electric motor to assist the gasoline engine, especially for acceleration and during low-speed driving.
Therefore, the availability of fuel for hybrid cars is essentially the same as the availability of gasoline.
Here's a breakdown:
* Gasoline: Gasoline is widely available at most gas stations around the world.
* Electricity: Hybrids use a battery that is charged by the gasoline engine while driving. You don't need to plug them in to charge them like a purely electric car. However, some hybrids can be plugged in to charge the battery, which can provide a small increase in electric driving range.
Important note: While most hybrids can run on regular gasoline, it's essential to consult your car's owner's manual to confirm the recommended fuel type and octane rating.
