1. Gasoline or Diesel: Hybrid cars have a traditional gasoline or diesel engine that powers the vehicle's wheels directly or acts as a generator to produce electricity.
2. Electricity: Hybrid cars also use electric energy stored in a high-voltage battery. The electric motor uses this energy to power the wheels, especially during low-speed driving or when additional power is needed.
When decelerating or braking, the hybrid system captures energy through regenerative braking, converting the vehicle's kinetic energy back into electrical energy that recharges the battery.
The combination of these energy sources allows hybrid cars to achieve better fuel efficiency and reduce emissions compared to conventional gasoline-powered vehicles.
