How does a hybrid vehicle?

Hybrid cars use an electric motor and internal combustion. Depending on the type of use for which they are designed, hybrid cars may be in series or in parallel.

In the former, the internal combustion engine drives a generator that supplies electricity to an electric motor, same being connected to the wheels, ie finally moves the vehicle with the power supplied by the electric motor, which uses the energy produces electric generator driven by the internal combustion engine.

The advantage of this type of car is that if you need performance or autonomy, the electric motor can get both battery power and generator.

In parallel hybrid vehicles, both the electric motor and the gas are connected to the vehicle wheels. They are more complex, but also more effective in order to reduce consumption and emissions without compromising performance. For city traffic, where you do not need a lot of power and looking for a zero emissions, the vehicle operates only with the electric motor that draws current from the batteries installed in the car.

These batteries can be recharged through a power outlet when the car is stationary, or by the generator coupled to the internal combustion engine when it is running. When working in this way, the force which reaches the wheels also comes solely from the electric motor are fed to produce electricity generator and the combustion engine.

To get more features and autonomy road vehicle uses the power of the electric motor and the gasoline at once.
