Everything you wanted to know about hybrid, fully electric and fuel cell cars Mild-hybrid Mild Hybrid cars only use their electric motors to support the engine during acceleration and cruising – the electric motor cannot power the car on its own. In a full or self-charging Toyota Hybrid, you can enjoy pure electric power for up to 50% of your city journeys and when cruising at speeds up to 50 km/h. At higher speeds or when overtaking on the highway, the petrol engine and electric motors work together to give you a strong boost of power. Plug-in hybrid Hybrid cars are cars with a battery pack that can be plugged in to charge it up. Like conventional hybrid models, Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) have both a petrol or diesel combustion engine and an electric motor. However, the battery pack that powers a PHEV’s motor is larger than that in a standard hybrid, giving it the advantage that it can run for longer on pure electric power alone. Electric Electric cars function by plugging into a charge point and taking electricity from the grid. They store the electricity in rechargeable batteries that power an electric motor, which turns the wheels. Electric cars accelerate faster than vehicles with traditional fuel engines – so they feel lighter to drive. Electric Vehicle FAQs What is the best hybrid car?
