2 types of Hybrids ... which is more efficient?
1- A gas engine with a supplemental electic engine (like all hybrids today).
2- An all electric car with a small gas or diesel generator to recharge the batteries.
Which is more efficient and why?
What I think;
#2, this is because an electric engine is more efficient, so it would run the car all the time making it more efficient. Also, a generator is always running at its peak efficiency and you only need a small (probably 3-10hp) engine to make enough electricity to recharge the batteries.
