What are the different types of hybrids? | Hybrid Vehicle FAQ #13

Effectively there are four types of hybrids - Mild hybrid - these are the cheapest and least powerful. Strond or full hybrids - which have stronger electric motors and bigger batteries which allow the vehicle to be driven on electric power alone. Third there are plug in hybrid vehicles which are a halfway point between EVs and petrol vehicles. These can be plugged in to charge the batteries - which are much bigger so that you can drive in EV only mode. Then there are the range extender vehicles. These are driven entirely on electric power - but use a small petrol engine as a electricity generator to charge their batteries.

Hybrid Vehicles FAQ kzbin.info/aero/PLr0Tor0L-2JNS8lNeiM6HfPuLMr5DxWB_

[@riteshgupta7489]

Last type reminded me of that tesla guy with a honda generator in boot 😂

[@its.2782]

Warped perception right? 😂

[@rajatverma360]

same

[@Neil197]

Me too

[@HorizonTravels1988]

Same

[@Rinaldolobo]

thought I was the only one who seen that video lol

[@warmfishsalad]

Range Extender actually seems an interesting technology.

[@motorinc]

It is!

[@spetznazxt]

Perfect for india if it's cheap interms of price

[@nikhilmenon8605]

Isn't this aka the "Series hybrid"?

[@alburaq3290]

Honda uses that Hybrid tech. Engine is purely for charging the battery and car drives in pure EV mode all the time.

[@rachitmittal448]

Range Extender seems good

[@AryanSingh2512.]

And obviously most expensive.

[@HorizonTravels1988]

​@@AryanSingh2512.No.. Actually relatively cheap. Range extender is also called series hybrid.

[@Searchforfulltruth911]

In the long term compared to ice negine car it is cheap​@@AryanSingh2512.

[@PratapGodithi]

Nissan leaf

[@josephnevin]

I think plug in hybrid makes more sense. It can use EV mode for short commutes and ICE engine for long hauls.

[@Arya_Adarsh]

We should all promote and demand, plugin hybrids with 100 km of ev range. That will make the cars more affordable and practical. And save the environment at the same time.

[@motorinc]

Thanks for sharing your perspective AA!

[@alburaq3290]

How will that make cars affordable?

[@Arya_Adarsh]

@@alburaq3290 pure EVs are very costly due to battery cost... And the large battery makes vehicles heavy, making them require more energy to pull. With plugin hybrid cars, you will need only 10kWh battery to give you a pure ev range of over 100 KMS. Bringing battery cost to one fifth. Most people commute less than 100 kms a day, so most people will be able to charge and use their cars purely as EVs... But for longer journey your car can use small engine to increase the range, giving you over 35-40 kms per liter mileage. So it's a win win for everyone. Until EV technology can be improved.

[@alburaq3290]

@@Arya_Adarsh Your maths isn't adding up. 10 kwh doesn't provide 100 km pure EV range. Strong Hybrids are already a lot more expensive than ICE vehicles. Plug in Hybrid would be even more expensive.

[@Arya_Adarsh]

@@alburaq3290 maybe not in your part of the world, but in my part, 40 kvh EVs do 300km, so by removing 20kWh, the weight is reduced and 10 kWh can do 100 kms. Current plugin hybrids are expensive because those cars are trying to put the best of both worlds in a luxury car. I am talking about a small battery, with a range extending engine, in a mass market car.

[@shantanu_d]

Excellent and useful, I didn't know about range extender at all 👍 How about a "type of vehicles" right from the ICE to EVs including types of EV ?

[@motorinc]

Great suggestion!

[@abirnigam8816]

Electric motors have lot of torque even low hp once. IC engines loose most of their milage during acceleration, when they are cruising, they are very efficient. A decent sized battery with electric motors which will deliver torque to wheels when accelerating or on climbs is a good system. But these systems given in cars in India have too small battery, doesn't help much and only works on low speeds. If they provide a bit bigger battry and program it to deliver torque when accelerating even on high speed in scenarios like overtaking. Ic engines efficiency will further increase by a lot.

[@anoopraha7166]

Range extender is way to go. Can go to villages for festivals and occasions without range anxiety. (Can't trust government power supply in village areas )

[@KanishQQuotes]

Chevrolet volt was the most successful range extender vehicle

[@yashowardhantri]

Please fix your mic issues , both yours and shumi's voice feels like someone is trying to whisper in my ears but fails and nearby people can hear it somewhat .

[@susheelchandra244]

Plug in hybrid is best. Electric in City, ICE on highways. Win win

[@abir95571]

Isn't suzuki coming with the 4th set up in fronx somewhere around 2026 ?

[@HariKrishnan-pe3ft]

Nissan e power looks interesting. I do have general doubt. How about the longevity of batteries in hybrid system? Will it last for a decade?

[@GbMuthu]

Mild hybrids only assist with the acceleration, yes. But in doing do they also handle most part of the stalling speed. In other words it has the potential to eliminate the torque converter required to pair an ICE to a CVT. I think Suzuki's new Z12 powerplant is a mild-hybrid Direct Drive just like its predecessor R06a. Hyundai too has a 1000cc, 3 pot mild hybrid CVT drivetrain which could be Direct Drive. Ofcourse they would need bigger batteries. As for ROI of hybrid premium, I wouldn't worry too much. No one who owned diesel cars ever bothered. About EV premium recovery, less the spoken, the better 😅.

[@prithvi1225]

Fourth is interesting...does any car available in India?

[@motorinc]

Not so far @prithvi1225.

[@Rinking123]

Good information 4th one I knew now

[@motorinc]

Thanks for watching @Rinking123

[@PostprandialTorpor]

You need to also say which is series, parallel or parallel-series

[@17nirmalya]

Wow! New knowledge. Didn't know about range extenders. Thanks! Tata should come up with a range extender for their Nexon. It will help bridge the charging port low-availability while on roadtrips.

[@motorinc]

👍 That will surely help.

[@drsm7947]

I have multiple questions? The idea of buying hybrid is because battery are Low mileage, expensive and heavy vs fuel High millage, cheap and light The best Diesel or gas engine have 20%-30% efficiency vs the electric motor have 80%-90% efficiency Engine just charging small battery for electric motor better I think because of efficiency

[@HariKrishnan-pe3ft]

Because of efficiency as well as quite ride. But we don't know about real world performance since we don't have any series hybrids in India.

[@jaganteki4628]

What type that new vw tiguan and kodiaq categories to?

[@TradingTalks-2327]

Please make vdo on smart hybrid which is removed by maruti suzuki brezza vehicle ppl more needed this vdo is it impacting on millage

[@Snowaxe3D]

The last one is like the Diesal train engines

[@shadow-qc1rf]

Plug-in hybrid is what we need

[@motorinc]

True!

[@hardycoversvevo3811]

Can you please make a video on the Maruti Suzuki Invicto?

[@shivamsawant5420]

mild, strong and plug-in HEVs are in parellel combination, and extended range will be the series combination, right?

[@johngulbarga9913]

We need a range extender With two or four cylinder Due to vibration

[@Everything-lb4vp]

Need more information on the 4th one please❤

[@HariKrishnan-pe3ft]

E power, Nissan's way of hybrid.

[@sahilnavale6558]

Range extender could have been honda city for Indian market.

[@vkvkarthick]

You can probably include Nissan's E-power technology.

[@motorinc]

👍

[@MostafaHabib-du3ud]

Excellent!

[@P01ntman2]

In the end, my early century V6 mounted in a supremely built 4x4 will produce less carbon burning gas through its lifespan, than the carbon production that occurred in the manufacture of those hybrids. I might have the wrong audience here 😅

[@bengeorge9063]

Looks like Maruti is going with the 4th type now

[@DanX_27]

Would a FCEV be considered hybrid as well?

[@mohammedhasir4282]

Did u know that the diesel locomotive are actually an electric train with range extender.?

[@motorinc]

Thanks for that cool factoid!

[@pvashist]

Link for the tshirt please

[@abhinavg3514]

I was expecting series, parallel and series-parallel

[@Manuscripto]

There's one more type. You forgot the Micro Hybrids!

[@othmanskn]

The Best and most accurate explanation of hybrid vehicles. Unfortunately, he is wrong in describing their performances. The most efficient is actually the mild-Hybrid. Among similar cars, the fastest and most efficient mrercedes is the mild-hybrid. Not sure against range extender because Mercedes does not make a range extender. I think it is still the mild-hybrid. Reason, because mild-hybrid allows ICE to operate at its most efficient rpm, so is optimum, and mild-hybrid can use the biggest ICE. Latest Mild-hybrid is based on my patent, Optimum Hybrid Vehicle.

[@Nayan-ic3ig]

Which car model is the 4th type?🤔

[@DAB009]

I think mazda has one.

[@ranadeepacharya4178]

Nissan Leaf /Kashqai ..e power , fantastic cars driving round the world. But Indians ko pachegi nahi ..Maruti ,TATA pe hi Jaan kurbaan karenge aur yeh dono company chuuna lagake luut te rahenge in their own house .

[@yohanmychal7194]

He definitely caught a cold ☠️

[@arjunp1519]

No he is just forget his dramatic sound.

[@praneshs8344]

seems my man is suffering from cold(his voice)

[@motorinc]

🥶 sowee

[@HeathenWars]

Just get a regular ICE instead of smart or mild hybrid. I see no difference in performance. Mileage? Maybe a couple of kilometres extra, but nothing more than that. Also issues with hybrids can burn holes into your pockets.

[@sinnombrea1944]

How is the EV only a hybrid? Doesn't hybrid mean it has to have at least two types of drives? So an EV is just electric. It's not a hybrid. And the first is micro hybrid as per the manufacturer and not mild hybrid. It doesn't need a new name. There is no need to reinvent the wheel just to stand out from others. You need to do better than this.

[@motorinc]

A micro hybrid does only start-stop... doesn't intervene in acceleration. A mild hybrid does micro-hybrid plus it helps with acceleration A strong hybrid isn't designed to charge except with the engine (so not an EV in that sense, although it can drive limited distances on electric power alone.) A plug-in hybrid is a strong hybrid but with the ability to be plugged in for charging (usually quite a bit more expensive than strong hybrids) A range extender uses only the battery to drive the wheels, and has a small ICE engine to top up the battery on the move. Perhaps you'd like to listen again? No wheels were reinvented but perhaps you didn't understand?

[@sinnombrea1944]

And how is the second not a plug in as it's EV only and why call the 3rd type plug in hybrid. Man, this is just pure BS.

[@motorinc]

The second isn't a plug-in because strong hybrids don't plug in for charging, they only charge using the engine in the car. The third is called the plug in, because you can. Plug in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are quite a bit more expensive because they typically have larger batteries and effectively have two entire full functionality powertrains, one ICE and one electric

[@Abhishekpandey-ox9ff]

Long vedio about Indian people car purchasing factor leads to buy wrong product

[@makitr1]

An I6 3.0 L strong diesel hybrid would be a dream come true 🤩. Best of both worlds.

[@motorinc]

♥️

[@vm-my6hg]

Love the idea of phev, i believe its the bridge towards no emission motoring, the latter is something we're not ready for currently. As per a study, 88% of car kms are covered in the city. Why wouldnt it make sense to incentivize this fraction rather than 100% electric vehicles for which we dont have the power generation & charging infra ? A 40 KWh battery now is much better used in 5-8 cars by limiting their emissions for shorter distances. Shame on the Indian brands that fought against common sense and the sarkar that agreed with them 🤬

[@vivekaaraga]

Good point. But the argument against this is that hybrids are heavier than ICE and EVs. So there are not as efficient.

[@PS-ug7nm]

More than the sarkar it's the strong Lobby these companies have among Babus

[@vm-my6hg]

@@vivekaaraga the hybrids on road (city, vitara) are pretty efficient

[@vm-my6hg]

@@PS-ug7nm agree, although the buck is supposed to stop with the sarkar, which is supposed to work for the benefit of people overall. There was a time when domestic industry survived on the basis of protectionism but the same card can't be used forever.

[@ranadeepacharya4178]

Aandhi sarkar hai bhai, kuch nai ho sakta.. tata and Ambani k taraf tilted hai. Lack of sense purely.

[@bella-rolland]

a video showing examples of Indian vehicles for each hybrid type (if possible)

[@motorinc]

Can try!

[@jowhar826]

What about the one used for performance like McLaren?

[@himanshu-hmg]

Can u talk about the awd variants of grand vitara/urban cruiser

[@vishakr7194]

4th one might b useful

[@motorinc]

👍

[@harikrishnanps3619]

City ehev belongs to last one?
