Ever wonder how the engine on a hybrid vehicle actually works? What exactly is going on under the hood when you are driving a hybrid? To answer these questions, I did a little YouTube scouring and found this video, that I think is pretty easy to understand:
I had the lucky experience to drive a Toyota Prius all over British Columbia in summer 2009 with my job promoting used oil recycling for BC Used Oil Management Association. So, I have to admit that I have gotten the opportunity to feel what it’s like to drive with the electric motor running only, and both together. I really enjoyed driving the Prius and I thought it performed very well (even through the Rocky Mountains!!). You can check out the bubbly Prius I got to drive at http://www.usedoilrecycling.com/en/bc/communicationspublicity.
My advice:
Electric motors are pretty much silent so watch out for pedestrians when you are driving really slow because they probably won’t know your coming!
