Overview

An overview of hybrid cars

There are three types of hybrid cars currently available on the market to choose from.

There are self-charging hybrid cars (FHEV), plug in hybrid cars (PHEV) and mild hybrid cars (MHEV). Hybrid cars provide the driver with the option to run using just the electric motor, just the engine or with the two in combination. Each option delivers different performance and efficiencies.

Diesel hybrid cars work by combining a standard diesel Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) with an electric generator. The diesel engine drives the generator to facilitate diesel-electric power in the vehicle. Petrol hybrid cars have petrol-fuelled engines that combine with an electric motor and batteries to power the petrol-electric hybrid drivetrain.

Benefits of buying
hybrid cars

Improved fuel efficiency

Improved fuel efficiency

As a hybrid uses both electric and petrol or diesel power, this type of vehicle is typically more fuel efficient, meaning drivers can save money at the fuel pump.

Lower Emissions

Lower emissions

Better fuel efficiency usually correlates to a reduction in CO2 emissions. This is also appealing for those who want to help the environment or are worried about driving in or around Low Emission Zones (LEZs), Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZs) or Clean Air Zones (CAZs) in the UK.

Range Anxiety

No range anxiety

Drivers may not be ready to make the full switch to electric due to 'range anxiety'. Owning a hybrid car can be the perfect introduction for drivers who want to go fully electric in the future. Having a mild or full hybrid car means drivers don't need to fully rely on electric power or charging their car and can still top up with petrol or diesel if needed.

Speedometer

Enhanced driving performance

As a hybrid combines a petrol or diesel engine with an electric motor, fuel type can be tailored to road and driving conditions. This can result in better performance and a more engaging driving experience.

The difference between electric and hybrid cars

The main difference between electric and hybrid cars is how they're powered. A hybrid car will use power from both an internal combustion engine and an electric motor, with separate batteries for each. However, electric cars only use a battery and an electric motor to function.
