1. Introduction

Hybrid cars

  • Cars with more than one source of acceleration.
  • Currently, the term HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle) is used for a solution that combines an internal combustion engine (ICE) with one or more electric motors as a source of accelerating force.
  • Energy storage devices are a fuel tank and an electric battery.
  • Two basic HEV structures:
    • serial,
    • parallel.
