Types of Hybrid Cars

There are two types of Gasoline-Electric Hybrid cars: The parallel and the series hybrid. In a parallel hybrid car, there is a gasoline engine and an elctric motor work together to move the car forward. Parallel means the electric motor and gasoline engine work in syncronization with each other simultaneously.However, in the series hybrid the gasoline engine either directly supplies power to the electric motor for the vehicle to run or charges batteries that will power the motor.
