What is a hybrid car?

Question:

Answer: A hybrid car combines the technology of using both gas and electric power. Hybrid engines are very fuel efficient. When a hybrid car is going a very slow speed or when it's stopped, the electric engine is in action. The car is very quiet with the electric engine. During that time, the electric motor is recharging the battery. When you start going faster, the gas engine starts to kick in, and this cycle continues. Every hybrid car has a monitor to let you know what's going on. The only negative thing about a hybrid engine is having to pay $3,000+ for a new battery after about 8 years because hybrid batteries do not last long.
