What fuel do hybrid electric cars use?
My son wants a hybrid vehicle, but I can’t wrap my head around how they work. What kind of fuel do hybrid electric cars use?

Hybrid cars
can be complicated for some people to understand, but they’re not too different from our traditional vehicles. Hybrid electric cars rely exclusively on gasoline or diesel fuel for energy. Hybrid cars use parts of both gas and electric vehicles. Here’s where it gets complicated: some electric hybrids can recharge by plugging into an outlet. These cars are considered Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles that can depend on both fuel and electricity for power.
Pros of Hybrid vehicles:
- Cleaner and fuel-efficient
- High resale values
- Low tax bills and congestion charges
- The engine means there are no range limits.
No matter what kind of car you drive you’ll need car insurance.
