Hybrid vs. electric: what are the differences?
An electric vehicle only has an electric motor and therefore uses the electric powertrain all of the time.
A hybrid vehicle operates using a petrol engine combined with one (or more) electric motors, alternating between the three modes of propulsion (hybrid, petrol and electric) that are made possible by this combination of equipment.
