	Hybrid car
		A hybrid car or hybrid electric vehicle is a vehicle which relies not only on batteries but also on an internal combustion engine which drives a generator to provide the electricity and may also drive the wheels directly.
		However, hybrid technology has been in use on railroads ever since the 1930s, when the locomotives on early streamliners ran on gasoline-electric and diesel-electric systems at far greater efficiencies than the steam engines of the day.
		In the mild hybrid design, the electric motor/generator does not drive the wheels, hence some people argue that it is not really hybrid depending on their interpretation of the criteria of a hybrid car.
