Does the Corolla Hybrid need to be charged?

[ValerieLee]

No charging is required. The main function of the hybrid system is to reduce fuel consumption. The electrical energy in hybrid vehicles is converted from the surplus energy generated by the engine. If the car runs out of fuel, it will not be able to operate. Here is more information about the hybrid system: Working state of the hybrid system: When starting, the vehicle is moving at low speed. At this time, the engine's efficiency is low, so it stops rotating, and only the electric motor is used for driving. During normal daily driving, the engine serves as the main driving force. Depending on the driving conditions, the energy generated by the engine is converted into electrical energy if there is any surplus. Battery used: The Corolla Hybrid uses a high-power nickel-metal hydride battery. The charging and discharging currents are accumulated through discharging during acceleration, regenerative braking during deceleration, and charging from the surplus energy generated by the engine while driving, maintaining a balanced charging state.
