How does a hybrid engine work?
With a hybrid car the engine uses both the internal combustion and electric batteries. These two power sources are necessary for the car to work. To understand how these two elements can help propel the car it may help to see each of these power sources separately. The first one that we shall look at is that of the electric batteries. These batteries are used to provide power to the electric motor. The electric battery in a hybrid engine powers the car so that it consumes less fuel. The battery power is saved in these hybrid cars by the use of the combustion engine. Without the fuel from the hybrid engine the electric battery would need to be replaced very quickly. The internal combustion engine on the other hand will allow the car to start using the fuel as an initial power boost. Once the power is running through the car the hybrid engine will help the batteries to conserve the fuel that is needed. In most HEVs the hybrid engine will shut the internal combustion engine down when it i
