That depends on the drive system:

  • Toyota Prius hybrids use AC from an inverter to power AC drive motors.
  • Honda hybrids use DC to power DC drive motors.
  • All electric vehicles may use either AC from an inverter or DC to power drive motors, depending on the type of motor.
  • Ordinary gasoline vehicles use low voltage DC to power a starter motor and generate spark for the cylinders.
  • Ordinary diesel vehicles use low voltage DC ONLY during startup, to heat glow plugs and to power a starter motor.
