To avoid repeating earlier details, I’ll provide an overview of hybrid vehicle types, their working principle, and some practical considerations. Overview of Hybrid Vehicles Hybrid vehicles combine an internal combustion engine (ICE) with an electric motor and battery to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions compared to traditional ICE vehicles. They use both gasoline/diesel and electric power, with energy management optimized for performance and economy. Types of Hybrid Vehicles Full Hybrids (Parallel/Series Hybrids): Can operate on electric power alone (short distances), ICE alone, or both. Examples : Toyota Prius, Honda Accord Hybrid. How it works: Electric motor assists ICE during acceleration; vehicle switches to electric mode at low speeds or during coasting. Mild Hybrids : Electric motor provides limited assistance to ICE (e.g., during acceleration) but cannot drive the vehicle on electric power alone. Examples: Honda CR-V Hybrid (some versions), Ram 1500 eTorque. B...
