How Does a Hybrid Car Work?

Model: (Various brands) Various

The full hybrid petrol engine consists of a petrol thermal engine combined with an electric unit that operates solely during start-up and at low speeds, working alongside the 'traditional' engine in all other driving situations to reduce consumption and improve performance. The battery recharges itself during deceleration and braking phases. Hybrid vehicles have an electric battery that recharges using kinetic energy. In fact, during the vehicle's deceleration and braking, the battery recharges, utilising the stored driving force from the electric motor.
