Understanding Current Hybrid Vehicle Technology
So, what is a hybrid car in 2022? What is the current technology ?
A hybrid vehicle combines at least one electric motor with an internal combustion engine (ICE) to move the car. This system is set up to recapture any energy from regenerative braking. There will be times when the electric motor can do all the all the work of moving the car, and then sometimes the ICE will do 100% of all the work. And then there will be times when the electric motor and the ICE work together to move the vehicle along.

Who and What is ANCAP?
All new vehicles sold in Australia and surrounding areas must undergo testing to assess how safe that car is. Graded with a star rating, the more stars a car has, the safer that car is. ANCAP, also known as the Australasian New Car Assessment Program, provides a substantial overview of what makes a car tick the boxes safety wise.
A few years ago, ANCAP changed the parameters in what they use to assess the safety of a car. There are four key areas: Adult Occupant Protection, Child Occupant Protection, Vulnerable Road User Protection, and Safety Assist.
