[QUOTE="mc01svt, post: 16975159, member: 32337"] At steady state operation (highway driving) its most efficient for the engine to drive the wheels directly. The efficiency gains of hybrids come from stop and go traffic, heavy acceleration or low loads. Using a motor to then power a generator which then turns a motor is in effect stacking multiple losses together. If what you were saying was true i could add an alternator to the wheels on a tesla to charge the battery which would allow the car to self power itself, effectively an free energy hack. That doesnt work LOL [/QUOTE]
