...Hybrid cars are really stupid when you think about them. A pure

complicated, which is 2x complicated!

I really don't know anything about current day Hybrids.
But I thought they were essentially electric cars with
a petrol powered generator. Like a dieselectric locomotive.

Does the gas engine drive hybrid cars? Trade off from the
elec motor?
