Hybrid Car Repairs Reading
While nearly everyone has heard of hybrid vehicles, most people are actually unaware of the various types out on the market. In this article, we’ll take a look at the 4 main types of hybrid vehicles and describe what makes each of them unique to each other
Like mild hybrids, full hybrid vehicles have a gasoline engine and an electrical component. However, the electrical component in a full hybrid vehicle is capable of handling far more of the workload than that of a mild hybrid. Most full hybrids can actually operate for some distance solely on electric power.
This typically happens at lower city speeds, but this is one reason you may see a full hybrid’s city MPG rating higher than its highway MPG rating (whereas in standard gasoline-powered vehicles, the opposite is true).
There are two main types of powertrains for full hybrid vehicles: parallel hybrids and Series hybrids.
With Parallel hybrids
The engine can be powered in one of 3 ways: directly by the engine, directly by the electrical motor, or by both systems working together.
In a Series hybrid, the wheels are powered solely via the electric motor, with the gasoline engine providing power for the electric motor, sort of like a generator. The gasoline engine never actually powers the wheels.
With advances in hybrid technology, some vehicles operate as a combination of the two (aptly named “series-parallel” hybrids), with the onboard computer system choosing the most efficient way to operate at any given time.
Full hybrids charge their battery system in essentially the same way as mild hybrid systems: through energy from the gasoline engine and regenerative braking.
Plugin Hybrids
All of the hybrid vehicles we have discussed thus far charge their batteries solely through internal means. The main difference with plug-in hybrids is that these vehicles can charge their batteries via external chargers as well as internal ones. As a result, plug-in hybrids usually have greater electric-only ranges than full hybrids.
Plug-in hybrids are a halfway point between full hybrid and fully electric vehicles.

What’s even better is that you do not pay before any work is completed; you only pay once you collect your hybrid vehicle.
