Hybrid and electric vehicles are two types of vehicles that use different technologies for their propulsion. Here are the main differences: 1. Hybrid Vehicles: Hybrid vehicles use a combination of an internal combustion engine (ICE) and one or more electric motors. There are three main types of hybrids: Parallel Hybrid: The most common type, where the vehicle can be powered by the ICE, the electric motor, or both. The electric motor assists the engine when more power is needed, such as in acceleration. The battery gets recharged through regenerative braking and by the engine. Series Hybrid: In this type, the ICE doesn't directly power the vehicle. Instead, it charges the battery which powers the electric motor, which in turn drives the vehicle. Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs): These vehicles can be plugged into an external power source to charge the battery. They can run on electricity alone for a limited range before the ICE ki ... read more
