Everything you need to know about hybrid cars

Worried about electric car running out of charge? 247 emergency recharging

What are hybrid cars ?

A hybrid car is a type of vehicle that uses both an electric motor and an internal combustion engine (ICE) to power its wheels. The electric motor is powered by a battery, which is usually charged through regenerative braking or while the ICE is running. The ICE is usually a petrol or diesel engine.

The electric motor and ICE work together to power the car, with the electric motor providing additional power when needed and helping to improve fuel efficiency. Some hybrid cars can also run on electric power alone for short distances and at low speeds, which further improves fuel efficiency and reduces emissions.

Hybrid cars come in different configurations, including series hybrids, parallel hybrids, and series-parallel hybrids, but all share the basic principle of combining an electric motor and an ICE to power the car.

Frequently asked questions - Hybrid and EV Hybrids

1. What are the benefits of owning a hybrid car?


Hybrid cars offer several benefits, including improved fuel efficiency, reduced emissions, and lower running costs. They can also provide a smoother driving experience and are often quieter than traditional petrol cars.


2. How do I charge a hybrid car?


Most hybrid cars do not need to be charged, as the battery is charged through regenerative braking or while the ICE is running. However, some hybrid cars, such as plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), can be charged from an external power source, such as a wall socket or a charging station.


3. How far can a hybrid car travel on electric power alone?


The driving range of a hybrid car on electric power alone depends on the size of the battery and the driving conditions. Most hybrid cars cannot travel very far on electric power alone, usually less than a mile.


4. How much does it cost to buy a hybrid car in the UK?


The cost of a hybrid car in the UK varies depending on the make and model. Generally, hybrid cars are more expensive than traditional gasoline cars but can be more affordable in the long run due to lower running costs.


5. Do I need a special driving license to drive a hybrid car?


No, a special driving license is not required to drive a hybrid car in the UK. Hybrid cars can be driven with a standard driving license as long as they meet the same criteria as gasoline and diesel cars.

myev HYBRID FAQs

Different types of hybrid cars

There are four main types of electric vehicles:

  1. Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV): A mild hybrid electric vehicle is a car that has a small battery and an electric motor that assist the combustion engine. The battery is charged through regenerative braking, which captures energy that would otherwise be lost during braking. MHEVs cannot be driven on electric power alone.
  2. Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV): A hybrid electric vehicle is similar to an MHEV, but has a larger battery and more powerful electric motor. HEVs can be driven on electric power alone at low speeds, but the combustion engine is still needed for higher speeds or when the battery is depleted.
  3. Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV): A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle is similar to an HEV, but has a larger battery that can be charged from an external power source, such as a wall socket or a charging station. PHEVs can typically travel a certain distance on electric power alone before the combustion engine takes over.
  4. Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV): A battery electric vehicle is a car that is powered entirely by a battery and electric motor. BEVs do not have a combustion engine and must be charged from an external power source, such as a wall socket or a charging station. BEVs have no emissions and are the most environmentally friendly option, but they typically have a shorter driving range than PHEVs or HEVs.
