I know. I don't mean to invade the thread but are hybrids not considered electric cars too? ....unless the titles says FULLY-ELECTRIC CARS.

Unless they can run on electric power alone, no. The Prius, as stock, is not an electric vehicle. It's a gasoline vehicle with start-stop technology and hybrid electric-assist. You can convert it into an electric vehicle, though. There's an add-on battery pack and programming thingamajiggy that allows it to run fully electric for short distances.

Try running a stock Prius on electric only and it'll run out of puff in a dozen kilometers or so. It just wasn't built to be an electric.

And Prii aren't for sale here, sadly...

Yes, we can also google the same site but YOU were asking about locally available electric cars. It is totally pointless to read about electric cars abroad if your question only covers within the Philippines, right?

sir youre right......

A hybrid, is, by definition, a car that can run on two sources of power. If the electric vehicle doesn't have another motor (whether it be diesel, gasoline, LPG, whatever) it's not a hybrid.

Now the Prius is a gasoline car with an electric hybrid system. The upcoming Chevrolet Volt on the other hand, is an electric car with a gasoline hybrid charging system. There's a big difference in the application. In the Prius, the electric system is there merely to supplement the gasoline system. In the Volt, the electric system provides the main motive power of the car, and the gasoline system is merely used to top-off the batteries.

Hybrids by their nature are HYBRIDs, benefiting from having BOTH electric and petrol or diesel systems.

ELECTRIC cars specifically use batteries and electric motors. Period. No ifs nor buts.

No one likes a wise-ass

The engine itself? No.

The vehicle? Depends. How much money do you have?
