Do Hybrid Cars Need Separate Charging?

[LaBrayden]

There are two types of hybrid vehicles. Standard hybrid: can charge the battery while driving. Plug-in hybrid: consumes battery power and generally does not charge. Taking Toyota's Leiling Dual Engine hybrid as an example, during the car's coasting phase, the drive motor converts into a generator, transforming kinetic energy into electrical energy to charge the car's battery. Here is additional information: Plug-in hybrid: For plug-in hybrids, such as the Changan Ford Mondeo 2018 plug-in hybrid, since the drive motor does not have the capability to charge the battery, the battery's power is always in a state of consumption without replenishment. Therefore, it almost always requires charging before each trip.
