Emissions Significantly Reduced
Although not as good for the environment as pure electric vehicles, it's a good start.
Mild hybrids, broadly speaking, are cars that have both a traditional internal combustion engine alongside an electric battery. This means that the petrol/diesel part of the engine can be turned off at various points during a journey, such as when a car is stationary, but it can then restart really quickly.
They typically have a small battery and an electric motor that can take over running parts of the car, such as the headlights and air conditioning. The important distinction here is that the wheels cannot be powered by the electric motor.
For drivers who aren’t ready to make the jump to electric, a mild hybrid option is a great choice.
