An electric motor draws current from the battery. The amount of current is determined by the position of the accelerator. Most vehicles use a pulsed DC current that is turned on and off depending upon the speed of the vehicle. A hybrid uses an engine that usually runs at a constant speed, charging the batteries as you go. The speed of the engine in the hybrid is usually set for about 35 mph. At this speed, you are drawing the same amount of current that the engine is supplying. At faster speeds, the electric motor draws more on the battery than the engine can supply for a limited distance at higher speeds.

Can an electric car cause pollution?
Most of them use gasoline as well, which would cause pollution. Even if it is completely electric, that energy had to come from somewhere, Like a power plant that produces pollution to create electricity. If you run on only electric, and get your energy from a windmill or waterwheel then it wouldn't!
