The battery pack in a hybrid car is arguably one of the most important parts that make it go. As you may already know, a hybrid car makes use of a combination of an internal combustion engine and electric motor. While the gasoline that provides energy for the engine is stored in a fuel tank, the electric motor gets its power from a different source.

 

Anyone,

The battery is also a part of an all electric car, not just a "hybrid car". 

"Hybrid" cars are like on/off road bikes, not good at either on or off road, so what is the point?

I think the point is to keep the oil flowing. You may have other thoughts. Where did you get those thoughts?
