Is Hybrid Electric Considered New Energy?

[KathrynLynn]

Hybrid electric is considered new energy, as it belongs to a type of new energy vehicle that falls between pure electric vehicles and fuel-powered vehicles. It incorporates both the traditional car components such as the engine, transmission, drivetrain, fuel system, and fuel tank, as well as the battery, electric motor, and control circuit found in pure electric vehicles. Hybrid electric vehicles are issued blue license plates. A hybrid electric vehicle refers to a car that combines fuel and electric power, where an electric motor serves as an auxiliary power source to assist the engine. The primary power source is the engine, supplemented by a secondary power source—the battery. Its characteristic feature is that the electric motor assisting the engine can generate strong and smooth power during normal driving, contributing to energy savings and emission reduction.
