Answer 1

Great question!
1. A Hybrid car runs on gas to start and then runs on electricity. You can get full hybrid cars that you have to recharge but these are ****.
2. You won't be able to change the engines around because each need a different batteries and they need different fans and stuff like that!

I Hope I helped,

Answer 2

he is wrong. Hybrid means it has 2 power sources. They generally use a gasoline engine and an electrical engine. Usually they use the gas engine essentially as a generator, and often turn it off during various parts of the drive, when its not needed. they also add it in when more power is needed.
