Hybrid cars are sometimes mistakenly mistaken for electric vehicles. Hybrids are most often gasoline burning machines that use their electrical bits to collect and reuse the energy they will normally lose in standard cars. In theory, diesel-electric hybrids would be even more fuel efficient, but hybrid systems and diesel engines represent an additional cost. So far, the installation of both in the same vehicle has proven to be prohibitively expensive.
A hybrid vehicle uses two or more different types of power, such as an internal combustion engine to drive a generator that drives an electric motor, On diesel-electric trains using diesel engines to drive an electric generator that drives an electric motor, and submarines using diesels when they emerged and the batteries when submerged. Other means for storing energy include pressurized fluid in hydraulic hybrids.
