* Combine a traditional gasoline engine with an electric motor and battery.
* Use regenerative braking to capture energy that would otherwise be lost when braking and store it in the battery.
* Can operate solely on electric power at low speeds or for short distances.
* Offer significantly better fuel efficiency than gasoline-only cars.
* Produce lower emissions than gasoline-only cars.
* Are typically more expensive than gasoline-only cars.
Gasoline-Only Cars:
* Rely solely on a gasoline engine for power.
* Do not have an electric motor or battery.
* Do not regenerate energy through braking.
* Operate exclusively on gasoline.
* Have lower fuel efficiency than hybrid cars.
* Produce higher emissions than hybrid cars.
* Are typically less expensive than hybrid cars.
