The system of a hybrid car uses a gasoline engine and at least one electric motor to propel the
vehicle, and it uses regenerative braking to recover energy. Sometimes the electric motor does all of the work, sometimes the gas engine, and sometimes both work together. As a result, less gasoline is consumed, improving fuel efficiency.
With all of them, electricity is provided by a high-voltage battery pack (different from the vehicle’s standard 12-volt battery) that is recharged by preserving kinetic energy during deceleration that is generally wasted to heat produced by the brakes in traditional vehicles. The regenerative braking technology makes this possible. In hybrid vehicles, the battery is maintained and charged by the gas engine. Different hybrid designs are used by automakers for a variety of purposes, from maximizing fuel efficiency to minimizing vehicle costs.
Hybrid vehicles are an environment friendly option since they have both an electric motor and a gasoline engine, which reduces their reliance on fossil fuels and lowers their CO2 emissions. Even though initial cost is a concern there are numerous tax breaks and incentives available to lower the cost of hybrid vehicles. They are better alternative to Electric Cars since the motion of applying the brake generates energy, which is captured and used to replenish the battery. You can do away with the need to frequently recharge the battery with such a system. Due to their rising popularity, hybrids have a higher than average resale value which is an added point.
Even when there is all these advantages there are some drawbacks. Apart from the high initial and maintenance cost, there is higher the risk of the passengers being electrocuted In case of an accident, due to the presence of the high voltage batteries. This can also make the rescuers’ task more difficult. Also the power of a combination of a gasoline engine and an electric motor in hybrid cars is less than that of a gas-powered engine in many cases.
There are a few distinct categories of hybrid vehicle technology, including the following:
Mild hybrid: A soft hybrid vehicle is one in which the internal combustion engine (ICE) receives only a small degree of assistance from the electric motor, and the car cannot be operated entirely on electric power.
Full hybrid: The electric motor can power the vehicle on its own, but this capability is often limited to shorter distances and slower speeds. Compared to a mild hybrid, this vehicle features a more powerful battery and more sophisticated power management technologies.
Plug in Hybrid: This includes a plug-in charging capacity, which enables the vehicle to be charged from an external power source. Another name for this type of hybrid is a plug-in hybrid.
This enables a greater driving range while using just electric power.
Extended-range electric vehicle (EREV): This hybrid form is very similar to a plug-in hybrid. The exception is that the car can only be driven on electric power for a limited distance before the internal combustion engine (ICE) creates energy for the electric motor. Hybrid Vehicles are overcoming the shortcomings of both conventional gasoline automobiles and standard Electric Vehicles. They are the best of the two world. When you dream vehicle is the best in technology you will have to make sure that they look the best too.
