Hybrid Cars: Types, Benefits, and Which One is Right for You

• Hybrid cars combine electric motors with petrol/diesel engines for better mileage and lower emissions.
• Three main types are Mild Hybrid (MHEV), Full Hybrid (HEV), and Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV), each with varying technology.
• MHEVs offer basic electric assistance, lower cost, and 5-15% fuel savings, ideal for short city commutes.
• HEVs can run solely on electric power at low speeds, providing high mileage (30-50 km/liter) and smooth driving.
• PHEVs have larger batteries, can be externally charged, offer 30-80 km electric range, and zero emissions for short trips.

Why It Matters: Hybrid cars offer fuel efficiency and environmental benefits; choose MHEV, HEV, or PHEV based on needs and budget.
