Hybrid vs. Gas: What’s the Difference? 

The biggest difference between a hybrid and a gas-powered vehicle is the electric motor inside a hybrid vehicle. Hybrids and gas-powered vehicles have a combustion engine, but only hybrids have an additional electric motor, contributing to better fuel economy than gas-powered vehicles. With assistance from the combustion engine, most hybrids self-charge the electric motor as you drive around Eastham, meaning you’ll rarely ever have to plug in a hybrid to charge it. 

The exception to self-charging is if you drive a plug-in hybrid (PHEV), which has a larger electric motor than standard hybrids and provides more electric drive range. However, PHEVs, as their names suggest, can only be recharged by plugging them into a charging station.
