The difference is that a hybrid car has an engine that can run on gasoline OR the battery. The regular car only runs on gas.
hybrid cars runs on battery and gas. when you go really fast and use a hybrid car then you stop... you use a whole bunch of the battery... while you are waiting,, the battery charges and then VOULA... theres your charged battery.........sky...
Some can, some can't. In the system used by Honda if the hybrid battery dies the car will still run fine as an ordinary gasoline powered car, but acceleration will be a little weak. In the system used by Toyota as the transmission is electric if the hybrid battery dies the car can not move.
Hybrid cars do not run on the power of the sun. Hybrid cars use a battery and gas to run.
The Honda Civic Hybrid will run fine on a dead battery, but acceleration will be sluggish.
The hybrid cars are more expensive than the started car but they will save you money with gas. Also if you ever need to replace the battery in a hybrid it will cost around 5000 dollars.
Not only are hybrid cars good for the environment but they are also affordable. One of the problems with this is that over the long run if prices are kept this low the manufacturers for these hybrid vehicles will lose money. This means that in the future, prices for hybrids will increase as their demand increases. Also once a battery runs out, it can cost the customer around $10,000 to get a new working battery, adding to the total costs.
Hybrid technology simply means that rather than running on only gasoline or only battery power the car runs on a combination of the two. Generally at low speeds and at a stand still such as a traffic light the car runs on battery power whereas at high speeds the car will run on gasoline.
a hybrid car uses electricity and gasoline.
The hybrid car could run on both gasoline and ethanol.
if a car can run on fuel as well as on electricity it is called a hybrid car.[maybe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!] No maybe about it - that is a hybrid car. The most common is hybrid electrical, an internal combustion engine and one or more electric motors
The Toyota Prius has electric AC, the gasoline engine will only run at idle with the ac when the battery drops below 50 %. The power steering is also electric. The same is also true for the Ford Escape hybrid. When you run the air conditioning, the gas engine will run until the a/c is fully charged then it will run off battery power. The downside of this is that you are deep cycling the batteries and shortening the life.
