Q: What is the difference between hybrids and EVs?

A: An electric vehicle (EV) is a car without an internal combustion engine that operates on electricity. It is equipped with a single electric motor that runs on external power. A hybrid automobile has both an electric motor and a gasoline engine. In a hybrid car, regenerative braking powers the electric motor without requiring an external power source. The hybrid vehicle's electric and gasoline motors work together to optimize mileage and deliver optimal fuel efficiency.
