How does hybrid electricity work?

there is no such thing as "hybrid electricity" per se. electricity is just electricity and that's it. a hybrid vehicle uses both electrical and some other form of power to work.... in a hybrid car, both internal combustion and electrical power are used. most commonly, the small gas engine is just a generator that generates power for the vehicle's batteries like in a Toyota prius. some hybrid vehicles have both the power to run off of the gas generator and a source of electricity, like a home electrical plug. there are also many other types of hybrid vehicles both as concepts and in production. -R.
