* Gasoline-electric hybrids combine a gasoline engine with an electric motor to improve fuel efficiency. The electric motor assists the gasoline engine when accelerating, and it can also generate electricity to recharge the battery. Gasoline-electric hybrids do not need to be plugged in to an external power source.
* Plug-in hybrids combine a gasoline engine with an electric motor and a larger battery. Plug-in hybrids can be plugged in to an external power source to recharge the battery. This allows them to travel longer distances on electricity alone.
Fuel cell cars are a type of electric car that uses a fuel cell to generate electricity. Hydrogen is the most common fuel for fuel cell cars, but they can also run on other fuels, such as methanol or natural gas. Fuel cell cars emit only water vapor and heat, so they are considered to be zero-emission vehicles.
Conclusion
Not all hybrid cars run on a fuel cell. In fact, fuel cell cars are a different type of vehicle.
