city driving: In stop and go driving and at low speeds, the
electric motor provides the necessary power.
The gas engine kicks in only to recharge the
battery or when more power is needed.
accelerating: Step on the accelerator pedal and get
all the responsiveness of a traditional
gasoline engine.
cruising:
The gasoline engine provides the power you
need for highway driving while the electric
motor charges.
Braking: For added efficiency, the energy created
by friction during braking is recycled to
the battery.
Stopped:
To save energy, the gasoline engine will
shut off and the electric motor will stop
drawing current.
