Hybrid vehicles are automobiles that use two or more different types of power sources to operate, typically combining an internal combustion engine with an electric motor. The main purpose of hybrid technology is to improve fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, and enhance overall vehicle performance. These vehicles can operate on the electric motor alone, the internal combustion engine alone, or a combination of both, depending on driving conditions and the design of the hybrid system. Common types of hybrid vehicles include full hybrids, which can run on electric power or gasoline; mild hybrids, which primarily rely on the internal combustion engine but use electric assistance; and plug-in hybrids, which have larger batteries that can be charged from an external power source. Hybrid vehicles are considered a more environmentally friendly option compared to traditional gasoline-powered vehicles as they generally achieve better fuel efficiency and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
