- jbaber 1y agoHow is it possible that a hybrid, which contains an ICE, is simpler than just an ICE?
- riku_iki 1y agohonda hybrids don't have transmission, ICE generates power which feeds electrical motor, which is much simpler and reliable tech, and because battery buffers power, ICE works in much more low stress mode too, it doesn't need to produce power peaks to accelerate.
- jbaber 1y agoMakes sense to me. I remembered hybrids degrading to a regular transmission when the battery was low. Sounds like if the battery were drained the ICE goes straight into electricity generation?
