Do hybrid cars use gas?
I want to go fully electric, but I can’t afford the cars in that price range. I’ve read that hybrids are also good for the environment, but I have no idea how. Do hybrid cars use gas or not?

While you’re doing an admirable thing by wanting to buy an
electric vehicle
, some of them aren’t exactly affordable, especially in the relative infancy of the industry. But hybrids are a little more affordable. Hybrid cars use gas, but they balance the use of gas with electricity from a lithium-ion battery.
When you’re driving, hybrid cars put the battery first and gas second. That’s how they’re able to get around 30 to 60 miles per gallon. Plus, they offer regenerative braking, which recharges the battery when you come to a stop. Put it all together, and you’re saving the planet in much the same way you would with an EV.
Gas is expensive enough as it is, even if you’re driving a hybrid. So why not find some savings elsewhere?
