How does a hybrid car really works?

Today in our driveway you exolicamos how a hybrid car works

Most hybrid cars is that they use an alternative source of energy to the combustion engine to achieve better records of fuel consumption, reduce emissions and make the more pleasant and respectful driving environment.

electric motor and gasoline managed by an electronic brain

The most common hybrid cars are those that combine an electric motor and one of parallel gasoline.

That it is a parallel configuration means that we have several possible combinations of operation:

• single electric
• only gasoline,
• gasoline
• Electric simultaneously.

It will be the management system who will decide at what time each configuration will work.

The idea behind a hybrid car is that its switchboard will try to make the electric motor to the maximum possible time to minimize gasoline spending. Also minimizing polluting emissions.

When we need all the power of the car, both engines will come into operation to give us the required acceleration.

In any other situation, the gasoline engine gives us power and also loads the battery.

Recharge the electric battery

• By regenerative braking.

When we apply pressure to the brake pedal, the system will use part of that braking force to recharge the battery.

• Through the inertia of the car.

When we drive it often happens that we release the accelerator pedal and keep the car moving by inertia
