The hybrid concept is a vehicle that relies on more than two sources of power to move the vehicle, so the Prius uses fuel and the power of electricity to move the vehicle. Hybrid vehicles are able to reclaim energy that it consumed unlike the traditional fuel only vehicles. Hybrid cars are equipped with a battery pack to store electricity for their electric vehicle. The main difference between a plug in and a traditional car is that the hybrid is charged when it’s connected to the wall outlet.
