Electric hybrid car

An electric hybrid car or simply hybrid car is a type of car that uses two or more power sources to power. The most common is that in addition to a regular combustion engine, the car also has one or more electric motors and batteries that help to power the car. 

It is easy to think that two motors would mean that the car requires more energy while driving, but the truth is that they work together to relieve the pressure on the combustion engine and reduce fuel consumption. As fuel consumption is reduced, they also become more environmentally friendly to drive than cars that only have one combustion engine. The switch between the combustion engine and the battery is automatic, but if you have an electric hybrid car that can be driven with only electricity, you can also usually choose which fuel to drive with.
