Hybrid Electric Vehicle

A Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) combines a conventional gasoline engine with an electric motor and battery. The electric motor assists during acceleration, reduces fuel consumption, and lowers emissions. When cruising or idling, the vehicle can operate on electric power alone or switch between systems for efficiency. The battery recharges through regenerative braking—capturing energy during braking—and from the engine. This dual setup offers better fuel economy and reduced environmental impact compared to traditional gasoline cars, making HEVs a practical option for those seeking efficiency without sacrificing performance or convenience.
