How to Switch Between Gasoline and Electric Modes in a Hybrid Car?
1 Answers
The switching between gasoline and electric modes is automatically controlled by the computer, with the engine automatically engaging when reaching certain speeds; it can also be manually controlled using buttons to switch between hybrid and pure electric modes. Below is relevant information: 1. Broadly speaking, a hybrid vehicle refers to a vehicle whose propulsion system consists of two or more individual propulsion systems that can operate simultaneously. The driving power is provided by either one system alone or jointly, depending on the actual driving conditions. 2. The commonly referred hybrid vehicles generally mean gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles (Hybrid-Electric-Vehicle, HEV), which use traditional internal combustion engines (diesel or gasoline) and electric motors as power sources. Some engines are modified to use alternative fuels such as compressed natural gas, propane, and ethanol.
