Hybrid Repair in Sacramento, California
An Interesting Feature of Your Hybrid Vehicle
What is a Hybrid?
If you’re beginning your search for a hybrid vehicle or are new to hybrid ownership, you may have a lingering question. Sure, you know the automobile will save on gas, and you’ve heard some say it’s better for the environment. But what exactly is a hybrid? It’s actually transportation with dual power sources. It has an electrical battery pack that holds a charge and powers the car and a downsized internal combustion engine that will enable you to operate your transportation when the charge is low. The two sources have the capacity to switch between themselves seamlessly. You may not even know when there’s a change.

What is Regenerative Braking?
Your hybrid will need services for both the battery pack and the traditional combustion power plant. It will also need repairs for components such as tires, a standard battery for ignition, and brakes, like all automobiles. But did you know that your hybrid has a feature known as regenerative braking? Indeed, it does. Regenerative braking allows your vehicle to capture and use energy that would otherwise be lost. Specifically, instead of allowing the heat energy from braking to dissipate into the air, regenerative braking sends much of that energy through a reversed motor to be stored in the batteries for reuse to power the car. Your hybrid is designed to engage regenerative braking without you having to make a decision or effort to do so.
