Hybrid engines give the the best of both worlds. On one hand, you have an electric car that can run on batteries when you are driving in optimal conditions, especially on the highway. On the other hand, you can use the gasoline feature of the engine to run over rough and steep terrain, while charging the batteries to later be used again. You can also use a combination of both for optimal car performance.
