I recently bought my first hybrid vehicle ever.
That is great! They use two or more types of power to get the engine going.
Really? What types of power are those?
Internal combustion engine. What do you use for a power source? I've heard you can use mopeds, electric bicycles, even kick scooters.
Since it's a hybrid it still takes gas and i guess the engine charges the battery, I'm not sure.
Do you need to plug it in? There are hybrids you plug in to recharge which I think are interesting.
No, mine doesn't need to be plugged in.
electric trucks (pickups and tractors) and buses also exist.
Modern HEVs make use of efficiency-improving technologies such as regenerative brakes which convert the vehicle's kinetic energy to electric energy, which is stored in a battery or supercapacitor. Some varieties of HEV use an internal combustion engine to turn an electrical generator, which either recharges the vehicle's batteries or directly powers its electric drive motors; this combination is known as a motor–generator. Many HEVs reduce idle emissions by shutting down the engine at idle and restarting
producing torque, or turning power, and the combustion engine is better for maintaining high speed (better than typical electric motor). Switching from one to the other at the proper time while speeding up yields a win-win in terms of energy efficiency, as such that translates into greater fuel efficiency, for example.
Vehicle type.
Vehicle type Two-wheeled and cycle-type vehicles.
Mopeds, electric bicycles, and even electric kick scooters are a simple form of a hybrid, powered by an internal combustion
