hybrids have a part-battery part-gasoline engine. when hybrids slow to a certain speed the battery part takes over and the gas part shuts down. when you accelerate to a certain speed the gas engine takes over. but you can go any where from 50-75 miles on a single charge, so hybrids aren't really all that great for road trips, just around town. they're bascially a waste of taxpayers' time and money.
and non-hybrids have a battery too but that one helps with all the electrical parts of the vehicle. no matter how fast or slow you go the gas engine remains running and you can go 100s of 1000s of miles with that battery. and it usually costs around $12-20 to replace these, whereas hybrid battery packs cost $2500, almost as much as a transmission replacement.
