Unlike a normal car, the hybrid car, while braking converts the excess kinetic energy into electricity and stores it in the battery. The device of restoring energy is known as a regenerative brake.
The aerodynamics of the hybrid sedan are excellent. These cars are built with very light material which helps to reduce the fuel cost. Supporters of hybrid cars believe that these product produce 80% less green house gases because of less fuel consumption and emission. The invention of the hybrid car is an important innovation in the global auto industry.
