Hybrid cars are cars that are powered by electric motors with a gasoline engine. Sometimes the electric motor does all the work, sometimes it’s the gas engine, and sometimes they work together. The result is less gasoline burned and, better fuel economy. Adding electric power can even boost performance in certain instances.
