It depends on the make/model. If you don't know this already, gas, and a large battery. :P

Why does modern hybrids use ac synchronous motor instead of dc series motors?
Toyota uses AC motors, Honda uses DC motors. It varies with design goals.
Do cars use DC motors to move wheels?
No they do not. The conventional car uses a petrol engine to move the motion wheels. Some hybrids use a combination of petrol engines and AC motors. While other use just AC motors.
Why do hybrids get such good gas mileage?
Hybrids still use an internal combustion engine, so it still use fossil fuels. The advantage of a hybrid is that engine also charges a battery. The electric motors are then used when the engine would be at it's most inefficient or to boost the power when accelerating. Hybrids also use regenerative braking. The motors are used in reverse to charge the battery when braking. So basically, hybrids just mop up some of the weak points of an internal combustion engine and make the best use of waste energy. The gas mileage is not that good, compared to a modern diesel engine, driven properly. The technology in a hybrid is hugely expensive and uses vast amounts of fossil fuel to make.
What is three different type of clubs in golf?

What is the difference between ethanol cars and electric cars?
Ethanol is a combustible fluid, which is burned in internal combustion engines just as gasoline is. Electric cars (not hybrids) do not run on internal combustion engines, they run on electricity provided by batteries, which is used to operate electric motors. Hybrids have both features, they can run on fuel or on electricity.

What type of electric motors are used in cocoa processing factories?
Standard Induction Motors for general applications. Servo motors in case precision application like packing
What type of shaft is best for hybrids?
Personal preference. You should try a variety of shafts and see what is best for you, most hybrids come with a standard shaft as standard, this is and indication that they work best with the head design.
Who discovered hybrid cars?
Hybrids were not discovered, they were invented. The first hybrid car invented was a 100-year-old Porsche! The car had in-wheel electric motors and an onboard gas engine to recharge the batteries.
What type of motors used in aircraft?
which type of motor used in remote control airplane
What is the difference between hybrid cars and gasoline only cars?
A Hybrid car uses both electric motors and a gasoline engine. Some Hybrids use a very small gasoline engine to assist in charging the batteries that drive the electric motors. These cars often use breaking to charge the batteries as well
What type of bankruptcy did General Motors declare?
