[QUOTE="mc01svt, post: 16975431, member: 32337"] This has been tried over 20yrs ago and theres no way of getting around the losses of energy conversion. Toyota is the industry leader and their hybrid systems still allow the engine to power the wheels directly. [URL="https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/all-about-drivetrains#:~:text=Hybrids%20that%20use%20a%20series,can%20provide%20mechanical%20power%20simultaneously"]Series vs Parallel vs Series/Parallel Drivetrains[/URL]. Since the engine is connected directly to the wheels in parallel drivetrains, [I][B]the inefficiency of converting mechanical power to electricity and back[/B][/I] is eliminated, increasing the efficiency of these hybrids on the highway. This reduces, but does not eliminate, the efficiency benefits of having an electric motor and battery in stop-and-go traffic. [/QUOTE]
