Well Most hybrids use a electronic motor/ gas system. Some bigger engines shut off cylinders under light loads or highway speeds. I have heard of some models also using alcohol.

What sources does a hybrid car use?

A hybrid car primarily uses two sources of power: an internal combustion engine (usually gasoline) and an electric motor powered by a rechargeable battery. The vehicle can switch between these sources or use both simultaneously to optimize fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. Additionally, some hybrid cars can recharge their batteries through regenerative braking, which captures energy normally lost during braking.


How do hybrid cars save energy?

They use a lot of less fuel, than a normal car. Gas is one of the most important non-renewable energy sources.

How are a hybrid and a regular gas car alike?

They both use gasoline as fuel.


How much fuel can a hybrid car save?

The amount of fuel saved depends on how many miles are driven and what car they are compared to. Hybrid cars are roughly twice as fuel efficient as non-hybrid cars. If you are driving a less fuel efficient car they can be three times as efficient, but some comparable non-hybrid cars get as much as 75% the mileage of hybrids, so the range is considerable. For estimation purposes, take the miles driven, assume 25 miles per gallon for a normal car, and then assume the hybrid will use about half that much fuel (i.e will save about half the fuel a normal car uses).


What energy does hybrid car use?

They use kinetic energy by conerting potential energy into it. The fuel source is diesel or gas.


What is the difference of hybrid and cng?

A hybrid uses a combination of fuels. CNG is natural gas and is basically a regular car that uses natural gas as the fuel instead or gasoline. This qualifies as a hybrid. The definition is a auto that can use more then one type of fuel.


What is the average distance an electric hybrid car can go on one charge?

Normally this distance is about 100 miles. This is only if the car is fully electric. Most hybrids use fuel as well, and the car will use fuel while charging the battery.
