Technician A says hybrid cars must be plugged in at night to recharge the batteries. Technician B says a hybrid cannot be a high-performance vehicle because the electric generator constantly uses energy to recharge the batteries, reducing power from the gasoline engine. Who is correct?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hybrid cars do not necessarily need to be plugged in to recharge their batteries, as they typically recharge through regenerative braking and the internal combustion engine. Additionally, hybrids can be high-performance vehicles, as the electric motor can provide additional power alongside the gasoline engine, rather than solely draining power for battery recharge.
