A hybrid vehicle uses both a gasoline engine and an electric motor to power the car. The system automatically switches between—or combines—both power sources to maximize efficiency and performance.
Unlike fully electric vehicles, hybrids don’t need to be plugged in. Instead, the battery recharges itself through the engine and regenerative braking, capturing energy that would otherwise be lost during slowing or stopping.
How Hybrid Technology Works
Hybrid systems are designed to balance efficiency and power. Here’s a quick overview of how the system operates:
Electric Motor:
Powers the vehicle at low speeds or in light driving conditions for quiet, efficient performance.
Gas Engine:
Engages when extra power is needed or when battery levels are low.
Battery Pack:
Stores energy generated from braking and engine operation.
Regenerative Braking:
Converts braking energy into electricity to recharge the battery.
Subaru’s hybrid system intelligently manages the power between the gas engine and electric motor, ensuring smooth acceleration and optimal efficiency—without any extra effort from the driver.
