Hybrid cars combine a conventional petrol or diesel engine with a battery and electric motor. This arrangement allows them to recapture the energy of momentum when slowing down and then to reuse that saved energy to help the car speed up again, improving overall fuel efficiency. The battery is not designed to be topped up from the mains, so hybrid cars don’t come with a cable and plug.
