Question

Who was the exact person(s) that invented the hybrid car?

Answer 1

Dr. Ferdinand Porsche (yes, the same guy who started the Porsche company many years later).

He built a hybrid car (gasoline engine/electric generator/battery) around 1900.

Answer 2

Very little is invented by a single person anymore.

It would have been an engineering team of hundreds.
