Such an engine should be utilized frequently since running it from time to time helps maintain its performance and also extends the life of the hybrid car’s battery. In a hybrid, regenerative braking and alternate usage of the internal combustion engine always keep the charge on the hybrid battery. If driven less often, the battery would not receive full charging, bringing about the overall diminution of capacity and even lifespan.
A hybrid car’s battery is charged and maintained properly by continually driving the vehicle. We recommend driving a hybrid car at least 625 miles per month, which is the national average of 1,125 miles annually. Hybrid cars depend on two different types of batteries: the conventional 12-volt battery to power various components and a high-voltage battery pack that serves as an energy source from the regenerative braking and the ICE.
