JAKARTA - Want an environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient car? A hybrid car could be the answer! This car combines gasoline engines and electric motors to generate energy, making it more efficient than ordinary gasoline cars.

What Is A Hybrid Car?

hybrid cars use two power sources: gasoline engines and electric motors. You still charge gasoline, but you don't need to charge electricity. Electricity for electric motors is obtained from car braking, through a process called regenerative braking.

How Does Regenerative Braking Work?

When braking, the kinetic energy of the car is converted to electricity. This electricity is then stored in the battery for use later, for example when the car needs acceleration. In this way, the use of fuel can be suppressed, especially on urban roads that stop-and-go.

The hybrid car offers a mix between the performance of the gasoline engine and the availability of fuel. In addition, hybrid cars are also more environmentally friendly. Before deciding to buy a hybrid car, make sure you have access to an electric charging station if you choose PHEV.
