hybrid

A hybrid vehicle is one that uses two or more distinct types of power, such as submarines that use diesel when surfaced and batteries when submerged. Other means to store energy include pressurized fluid in hydraulic hybrids.
Hybrid powertrains are designed to switch from one power source to another to maximize both fuel efficiency and energy efficiency. In hybrid electric vehicles, for instance, the electric motor is more efficient at producing torque, or turning power, while the combustion engine is better for maintaining high speed. Improved efficiency, lower emissions, and reduced running costs relative to non-hybrid vehicles are three primary benefits of hybridization.

    Enhancements made with 3D printing.

    I'm a big fan of 3D printing and enjoy creating and printing stuff. One issue I've consistently encountered with my MG ZS HYBRID+ is the design of the original cup holders. They're placed too close together, making it impossible to fit two large cups side by side. This became especially...

    Having bought one of the first-generation ZS EVs, which was so unreliable, I sold it after only six months (luckily, it was at the price peak, so I didn't lose too much). Now, 5 years later, I've just bought a 2023 HS PHEV, and so far, I love the car, especially with the red leather. Having both...
