    A hybrid car is propelled by one or more electric motors which receive the electricity from batteries. The batteries are charged by either a gas or diesel engine. In a hybrid car the engine runs at a constant speed unlike a conventional auto which the rpm in continually varying. The way you mostly save energy is in the constant speed. That is also why different people get different mileages out of conventional cars.

    They don’t work. You just stay away from those things. You be better off that way.

    Well, good question. When you are accelerating. The car uses Petrol. When your at speed ( speed limit or not accelerating as hard) It should switch to electric and thats how it works :)
