Best Answer

Over 95% of hybrid cars use gas only as fuel. From that they generate electricity and store it in batteries for later use to supplement the gas engine.

The remaining hybrid cars (called plugin hybrids) use gas too, but can also be plugged in to keep the batteries charged.

Why helium does not form ion easily?

it is a noble gas and is averse to losing its electrons from the outer shell of its atom and in which case it would become electrically charged


How efficient is hybrid car fuel?

Hybrid cars get better gas mileage than regular cars. Also, the great thing about the hybrid car is that you do not necessarily need to use fuel to drive a hybrid car, which will help you save money on gas.


Do I need to recharge or plug in a hybrid vehicle?

There is no need to plug in a hybrid vehicle. The hybrid engine will recharge the batteries as needed by using the gas engine. Some newer hybrid cars even use breaking to recharge the batteries.


What is plasma gas?

Plasma is a state of matter different from ordinary gas. In a plasma the atoms are ionized and thus electrically charged, causing them to repel each other (significantly changing the compression/expansion properties from those of gasses) and making the plasma electrically conductive and respond to magnetic fields (which gasses do not).


Matter with electrically charged particles that has no definite shape or volume?

Plasma has no definite shape or volume and conducts electric currents.a gas
