1) What is a hybrid Car? 

A hybrid car is a vehicle which depends not only on batteries but also on an internal combustion engine which drives a generator to provide the electricity and may also drive the wheels directly. 

Hybrid car engines are built smaller to accommodate the ninety-nine percent (99%) of the time when the car is not going uphill or accelerating quickly.  It uses the battery to provide extra acceleration when needed and when stopped, the gas motor shuts off runs on the electric and battery.
