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.

    Hello all, I have purchased my HS phev last month and currently noted that the minimum RPM when stationary are at 1400rpm. The engine runs at this minimum when stationary and I don't know if it is normal due to the hybrid technology but the sound is noticeable and compare to my previous cars...

    Is it possible to tell how much charge is in a hybrid+'s battery?

    Or is it something that we are just never supposed to know, shut up and drive and let the car work it all out, kind of thing? Just thinking it would be interesting/useful to know when the battery is fully charged or fully deleted.

    Hill Descent Control (HDC) explained

    I had HDC on my previous HS PHEV and again on this 2025 version. I tried it on both and concluded it’s an interesting feature but as it keeps the car at walking pace it’s not much use in the real world. However, I’ve just discovered that if you engage it then accelerate to a higher speed it will...

    MG HS Hybrid battery drain

    Hi I took delivery of a new MG HS Hybrid on 27/6/2025. I have had to call MG assist 4 times due to flat battery. The car is going back to the dealer, but have requested a replacement vehicle. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
