How do hybrid car work?
they use an alternative energy source. NOT THE SUN
Is a hybrid car an efficent source of energy?
They are a car that uses gas as a source of energy.
What are the type of energy used to power hybrid cars?
Hybrid cars use normal fuel but also electrical energy. A hybrid car has two engines: one is a normal car-engine, petrol or diesel, and the other is a DC electric motor connected to a battery. When the normal engine is running it drives the car and charges the battery. In traffic the engine can be turned off and the car runs on the battery, which is less wasteful when inching forward because the engine is not running and taking fuel, so that when the car is stopped it uses no energy. A hybrid car can also use Dynamic Braking, which uses the car's kinetic energy to charge the battery when the driver wishes to brake. This saves energy that is normally lost in the friction in normal brakes.
Which two things does a hybrid car use to run?
a hybrid car uses electricity and gasoline.
Use hybrid in a sentence?
I drive a gas/electric hybrid car.
What are all of the hybrid electric cars?
Hybrid cars are not the same as an electric car. Electric cars run on electric power exclusively, while hybrid cars use a combination of electric energy and another fuel to run.
How do hybrid cars save energy?
They use a lot of less fuel, than a normal car. Gas is one of the most important non-renewable energy sources.

Does a hybrid car use gas?
Yes
What is a hybrid car what kind of gas do they use?
A hybrid car is a car that runs on battery and gas. It uses standard unleaded regular gas.
What kinds of energy do hybrid cars use?
Electric energy aka Kinetic Energy.
Do hybrid cars use drum brakes?
Many, but not all. They cost less and the energy from braking the spinning drum is funneled into the car's battery.
