Question

How do hybrid vehicles manage to run their engines?

Answer 1

They have hybrid combustion systems.

Answer 2

The answer is easy if you research it. A hybrid engine is part electric and part gasoline. Both components work together to recieve a gas mileage of up to sometime 40 mpg! Now, this is how a gasoline car is powered by a combustion engine. In the engine there are a series of small explosions inside the engine that push the pistins up and down. In a hybrid engine it is the same thing except the combustion engine is smaller and the electrical engine combines the power it produces with the power the combustion engine makes to make the car recieve a better gas mileage. I hope you find this answer satisfactory!

Answer 3

A full hybrid, unlike its mild counterpart, has the ability to propel the vehicle solely on its electric motor—without the internal combustion engine running. However, it is only able to do this under certain conditions (usually low load conditions). Under very light cruising load and under light acceleration, a full hybrid can run on just the electric motor. As soon as additional power is needed, the internal combustion engine will kick-in to provide full acceleration power.

Full hybrids tend to get much better fuel mileage than mild hybrids, plus much better city mileage, since the electric motor is used much more in city driving.

Answer 4

you should clarify this, but the electric motor runs on a massive battery, and the gas engine starts and stops just like any other gas motor, it just has a computer telling it when it needs to do so
