Can hybrid cars be used long-term without charging?

Hybrid cars can be used long-term without charging. Here is relevant information about hybrid vehicles: Concept: Refers to vehicles equipped with two or more power sources: storage battery, fuel cell, solar cell, or generator set of internal combustion engine vehicles. Currently, hybrid electric vehicles generally refer to those combining an internal combustion engine generator with a storage battery. Advantages: After adopting hybrid power, the maximum power of the internal combustion engine can be determined according to average power needs, operating under optimal conditions with low fuel consumption and minimal pollution. When additional power is required beyond the internal combustion engine's capacity, the battery supplements it; during low-load conditions, surplus power can generate electricity to charge the battery. Since the internal combustion engine can operate continuously and the battery receives constant charging, its range is comparable to conventional vehicles.
I've been driving a hybrid car for almost five years now, and I never charge it. The car still runs smoothly. The hybrid system is ingeniously designed to recover energy during deceleration or braking, automatically charging the battery, and the engine also supplements the charge while operating. Over long-term use, the fuel consumption is significantly lower than that of a pure gasoline car, with even more noticeable fuel savings in congested urban areas. The only thing to note is that the performance might be slightly inferior in full-throttle mode on highways, but overall, it doesn't affect daily commuting. The battery is designed for durability, so just regularly maintain and check the fluids, and don't worry about it failing. In any case, I find it very hassle-free, both cost-effective and eco-friendly.
