As a solution to these things, hybrid vehicles were introduced to the world. Even if electric vehicles are produced as a future solution, people still do not like electric vehicles as much as fuel-powered vehicles for various reasons.

Hybrid vehicles can be called the most successful choice among fully fueled internal combustion engine vehicles and fully electric vehicles. There are several models of hybrid vehicles, full hybrid, mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid are some of them.
