Answers:
1A hybrid vehicle is a vehicle that combines two or more sources of power. Hybrid cars combine a gasoline engine with an electric motor. Hybrids have smaller and more efficient engines that get help from an electric motor when more power is needed.
An onboard computer works to optimize the balance between the electric motor and the gasoline engine, only using both during heavy acceleration or at high speeds. It also works to keep the batteries charged between 30%-80% at all times. The computer can use the electric motor to recapture energy when the vehicle is braking. In this case the electric motor is working like a generator.
