Best Answer

Batteries are not a form of fuel. They store energy. Hybrids and electric cars need large batteries as their primary fuel is stored in batteries. Both types of cars use gasoline to charge the batteries. Electric cars also can use the grid to charge. So, if your energy comes from coal, it would be actually a coal fueled unit.
