Hybrid Basics
It's called a hybrid because it's part gasoline engine, part electric motor. Thanks to the electric motor, the gasoline engine does not have to run all the time. And when a Ford hybrid is being powered by electricity, it's not burning gasoline. Good for fuel efficiency. Good for the planet. In most instances at low speeds and for short distances, Ford hybrids run exclusively on electricity. At higher speeds, and when you need more power, the gasoline engine kicks in. Ford hybrids also feature a Regenerative Braking System. Unlike a traditional gasoline engine where the energy generated by braking is lost, this innovative technology enables Ford hybrids to capture braking energy and store it for later use.

-POWERED by: Gasoline engine and electric motor
-ELECTRICAL CONNECTION: Doesn't need to be plugged in
-FUEL: Gasoline
-BATTERY CHARGED by: When running, the gasoline engine charges battery. Energy from braking is also captured to charge battery
-GASOLINE ENGINE OPERATION: Powers vehicle at higher speeds, shuts off at low speeds and when vehicle is stopped
-ELECTRIC MOTOR OPERATION: Powers vehicle at low speeds and for short distances

  • @heartlessvietboy Maybe when the big oil, electric and government get out of the way, then the promise looks good.

  • The Future of Automotive Traveling will be Electric Propulsion. It's called Super-Abundance Electric Generator. Super-Abundance Electricity Generator is a Generator Creating Mammoth Amounts of Electricity to run the Generator itself and something else (Automobile).
