    This document provides an overview of hybrid vehicles. It defines hybrids as vehicles with two power sources and describes the different levels of hybrids from full to mild. Full hybrids can run solely on electric power, while mild hybrids only feature idle-stop functions. The basic components of hybrids are an internal combustion engine, electric motor/generator, battery, transmission, and inverter. Hybrid vehicles have advantages like better fuel economy and lower emissions, but also disadvantages such as higher initial costs and potential extra maintenance needs. Overall, hybrids can save owners money on fuel costs over time depending on annual mileage and fuel prices.

    WHAT IS A HYBRID?
    • A hybrid is a vehicle that is propelled by
    two power sources.
    OBJECTIVES
    • Types of hybrid vehicles
    • Hybrid vehicle operation
    • Commonly asked questions about hybrids
    • The pay back rate of hybrids
    • Advantages and disadvantages of owning
    a hybrid
    LEVELS OF HYBRID VEHICLES
    • Full hybrid
    – They feature idle-stop function
    – Regenerative braking
    – Most are capable of using the electric motor
    alone to propel the vehicle
    – The electric motor also assists the engine
    – Battery voltages are about 200 to 300 volts
    LEVELS OF HYBRID VEHICLES
    • Medium hybrid
    – They feature idle-stop function
    – Regenerative braking
    – Most are not capable of using the electric
    motor alone to propel the vehicle
    – The electric motor usually assists the engine
    – Battery voltages are about 144 to 158 volts
    LEVELS OF HYBRID VEHICLES
    • Mild Hybrid
    – They feature idle-stop function
    – Regenerative braking
    – Are not capable of using the electric motor to
    propel the vehicle
    – These systems are usually 42 volts or less
    Basic Components
    • Power plant ICE
    • Electric motor / Generator
    • Battery
    • Transmission
    • Inverter
    TYPES OF HYBRID VEHICLES
    • Series hybrid
    – Vehicle propulsion is by a electric motor only
    – ICE is used for charging the HV battery
    TYPES OF HYBRID VEHICLES
    • Parallel hybrid
    – Uses multiple propulsion energy sources
    – This means the electric motor and ICE propels the
    vehicle
    TYPES OF HYBRID VEHICLES
    • Series-parallel hybrid
    – These vehicles can operate using the electric motor
    alone or with assist of the ICE
    – They combine both functions of series and parallel
    design
    HOW DO I START THIS THING?
    IS THIS VEHICLE RUNNING?
    Maintenance
    • Hybrid vehicles require the same
    maintenance as regular vehicles
    • However, some hybrids require inverter
    flushes and battery filter changes.
    • There be additional costs involved in
    replacing low rolling resistance tires.
    • Vehicle repairs may cost more than a
    regular vehicle
    HOW LONG WILL A HIGH VOLTAGE
    BATTERY LAST?
    • Most hybrid high voltage batteries last
    180,000 to 240,000 miles
    • Manufacture battery warranties
    – Honda
    • 8 years / 80,000 miles
    – Toyota
    • 8 years / 100,000 miles
    – Ford
    • 8 years / 100,000 miles
    – General Motors
    • 8 years / 100,000 miles
    ARE HYBRID VEHICLES SAFE?
    • YES!
    – The following will disable the high voltage
    system
    • High voltage interlock circuit
    • Airbag deployment
    • High voltage leak
    • Removing battery negative
    WHAT HAPPENS IF A HYBRID
    VEHICLE IS SUBMERGED IN
    WATER?
    • There is no risk of electric shock from
    touching the car's body or framework—in
    or out of the water.
    IS IT EXPENSIVE TO INSURE A
    HYBRID VEHICLE?
    • Some insurance companies indicate that
    drivers of hybrid vehicles are a lower risk.
    – May save 5-10% on insurance costs by
    owning a hybrid vehicle
