PASSING PART 1

During heavy accelerating or when additional power is needed, the gasoline engine and electric motor are both used to propel the vehicle.

stage graphic: vertical blue rule
Main stage: See through car with battery, engine, generator, power split device, and electric motor visible while passing another vehicle. There are purple arrows flowing from the generator to the electric motor to the power split device to the front wheels. There are red arrows flowing from the gasoline engine to the generator to the power split device to the front wheels.

There are red arrows flowing from the gasoline engine to the generator to the power split device to the front wheels.Gasoline Engine: Status is ON,The gasoline engine in a hybrid is much like those in conventional vehicles, except that it is usually much smaller and more efficient.Generator: The generator converts mechanical energy from the engine to electricity which can be used by the electric motor or stored in the battery. It is also used to start the gasoline engine instantly when needed.
Power Split Device: The power split device is a gearbox connecting the gasoline engine, generator, and electric motor. It allows the engine and motor to power the car independently or in tandem and allows the gasoline engine to charge the batteries or provide power to the wheels as needed. Electric Motor: The electric motor powers the vehicle at low speeds and assists the gasoline engine when additional power is needed. It also converts otherwise wasted energy from braking into electricity and stores it in the battery.
