What is the principle of hybrid vehicles?

The principle of hybrid vehicles: The car is powered by both the internal combustion engine and the electric motor to drive the vehicle. Hybrid vehicles start with electric power, which is quiet, pollution-free, and fuel-efficient. At low speeds, the engine provides the main driving force, minimizing noise at low RPMs. During full acceleration, both the engine and electric motor work together to deliver rapid and smooth acceleration. When decelerating or braking, energy can be recovered and stored as electricity for reuse. Examples of hybrid models include the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Spirior, and BYD Song. Taking the new Toyota Camry as an example, its body dimensions are 4885mm in length, 1840mm in width, and 1455mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2825mm. The car body appears very sleek and elegant, with bright silver trim around the windows to enhance the premium feel. The waistline adds a sense of strength to the body, making it look more rugged, and the multi-spoke wheels create a sporty effect.
Speaking of the principle of hybrid vehicles, it's a clever design. I've been driving this type of car and find it particularly worry-free. Simply put, it combines a traditional gasoline engine with a modern electric motor, controlled by an intelligent system. When you're driving at low speeds, like waiting at a traffic light, the car mainly uses the electric motor for propulsion, which is quiet and energy-efficient. When you accelerate onto the highway, the gasoline engine automatically kicks in to provide more power. The key is its ability to recover energy—when braking or decelerating, kinetic energy is converted into electricity and stored in the battery for use during the next start, avoiding waste. The battery is usually charged by the engine or replenished through regenerative braking, with the entire system seamlessly switching to significantly reduce overall fuel consumption. For instance, when I drive long distances, my fuel costs are halved, and exhaust emissions are reduced, making the ride smooth and effortless. The core of hybrid vehicles lies in intelligent energy management, maximizing the advantages of both power sources.
