Hybrid Vehicles from WikiPedia:

A hybrid vehicle is a vehicle that uses two or more distinct power sources to move the vehicle. The term most commonly refers to hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), which combine an internal combustion engine and one or more electric motors.

Power sources for hybrid vehicle include:

  • On-board or out-board rechargeable energy storage system (RESS)
  • Gasoline or Diesel fuel
  • Hydrogen
  • Compressed air
  • Liquid nitrogen
  • Human powered e.g. pedaling or rowing
  • Wind
  • Compressed or liquefied natural gas
  • Solar
  • Waste heat from internal combustion engine. This can be converted to steam or electricity (eg via Stirling engine or Thermogenerator) to increase vehicle propulsion. The extra power may also be used for supplemental systems (eg cooling for cool-trucks, ...)
  • Coal, wood, Biochar or other solid combustibles
  • Electromagnetic fields, Radio waves
