Strong hybrid vehicle

 Strong hybrid vehicles have an engine and an electric motor. The main feature of this is that the electric motor can drive the car on its own.

This strong 'hybrid' vehicle can operate in three modes

Using the electric motor only (electric mode)

At low speeds, in traffic or when parking, the car moves forward completely with the help of the electric motor. At this time, the engine is turned off. This reduces fuel consumption

Using the engine only (engine mode)

When traveling at high speeds, the petrol engine mainly works and the electric motor only provides assistance when needed. 

Using the engine and electric motor (hybrid mode)

When more speed is needed, for example when accelerating, the petrol engine and electric motor work together. This gives the car more power and torque.

 The Strong Hybrid system has three methods for charging the battery used to power the electric motor

Regenerative braking

When the vehicle is driving, when the accelerator is released and the brakes are applied, the electric motor of this vehicle acts as a generator and the energy generated by the vehicle's wheels turning the generator is stored in the battery

Charging through the engine

When the vehicle is cruising (when going at a constant speed) or when the engine is running excessively, the excess energy coming from the engine is used as a generator by the electric motor to charge the battery.

Coasting or downhill driving

When the vehicle is going downhill or braking lightly,

the motor again becomes a generator and charges the battery.

A Strong Hybrid car charges its battery without having to plug it in from the outside through these three methods.
