STARTING AND DRIVING
394
Hybrid battery: stores electrical current, which is provided by connecting the chargingcable to the electricity grid, through regener-ative braking or from the high-voltage gener-ator. This makes it possible to drive using theelectric motor or to power the electrical airconditioning to precondition the passengercompartment.
Gasoline engine: starts when the charge level in the electric motor is too low to pro-vide the power output that the driver requires.
High voltage generator3
: charges the hybrid
battery and starts the gasoline engine. It can also provide the gasoline engine with extraelectrical current.
Electric motor: powers the vehicle using electricity and can provide extra torque andpower during acceleration. It combines with the gasoline engine to provide all-wheel drivefunctionality and regenerates braking energyinto electrical current.
