Most cars have an internal combustion engine and a battery. Hybrid drive vehicle such as Toyota Prius.
Hybrid cars such as the Toyota Prius or the Mitsubishi PHEV.
Cars that use both a combustion engine and an electric battery are known as hybrid vehicles. Examples include the Toyota Prius, Honda Insight, and Ford Escape Hybrid. These vehicles combine a gasoline engine with an electric motor to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. Plug-in hybrids, like the Chevrolet Volt and Toyota RAV4 Prime, also allow for extended electric-only driving through larger battery capacities.
Better (joke) Most cars currently on the road are not hybrid. A common auto has a internal combustion engine, much less common non hybrid is the pure electric car. A hybrid has an electric motor and battery like an electric car and an internal combustion engine to charge the battery and boost performance. Hybrid: Meaning neither this or that but a combination of both.
Yes, Hybrid cars have both electric and combustion engines. In most cars the Combustion engine kicks in to charge the batteries to extend range before having to recharge and refuel.
Active hybrids are hybrid vehicles that utilize both an internal combustion engine and an electric motor to power the vehicle. These hybrids can operate in electric mode at low speeds and use the combustion engine at higher speeds or when more power is needed. The system is actively managed to optimize performance and fuel efficiency.
Two types of propulsion in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) are series hybrid and parallel hybrid. In a series hybrid, the internal combustion engine only generates electricity to charge the battery which then powers the electric motor. In a parallel hybrid, both the internal combustion engine and the electric motor can work together to drive the vehicle.
Hi, Hybrid cars are most commonly known as Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs). They include a combination of an internal combustion engine or one or more electric motors. They use both gasoline and electric motors.
The biggest difference is the source of power putting the vehicle in motion. An Electric car will contain an Electric Motor providing propulsion. A Gas car will contain an Internal Combustion Engine providing propulsion. An obvious requirement is that both the Electric driven vehicle and Gas driven vehicle will need to be fueled. The electrically driven vehicle has a battery that will need to be recharged. The gasoline driven vehicle naturally needs to have the tank filled. The biggest drawback for electric cars is the battery life being so short. However, battery life is improving as this is being answered - with manufacturers providing better batteries.

Depends on what you are saying. All cars have batteries, but an electric car has both batteries and a motor, instead of an engine...
