Hybrid means the combination of electricity and fuel, which can be refueled or charged. Introduction to hybrid vehicles: Broadly speaking, a hybrid vehicle refers to a vehicle whose drive system consists of two or more individual drive systems that can operate simultaneously. The driving power of the vehicle is provided by a single drive system alone or jointly according to the actual driving state of the vehicle. Generally speaking, hybrid vehicles usually refer to oil-electric hybrid vehicles, that is, vehicles that use traditional internal combustion engines (diesel or gasoline engines) and electric motors as power sources. Some engines are modified to use other alternative fuels, such as compressed natural gas, propane, and ethanol fuels. Classification: According to the connection method of hybrid power, hybrid vehicles are generally divided into three categories. The first is the series hybrid electric vehicle (SHEV), whose power system is mainly composed of three major power assemblies: engine, generator, and drive motor connected in series. The second is the parallel hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), whose engine and drive motor are both power assemblies, and the power of the two major power assemblies can be superimposed or output separately. The third is the power-split hybrid electric vehicle (PSHEV), which combines the structures of series and parallel hybrid vehicles and is mainly composed of three major power assemblies: engine, motor-generator, and drive motor.
