TotalEnergies Supports Hybrid Cars

Hybrid Cars: A Greener Drive

Hybrid cars are a blend of traditional gasoline-powered vehicles and  electric cars. They work by combining an internal combustion engine (ICE)  with an electric motor. Hybrid cars are considered to be the future of  automobiles because they reduce emissions and improve fuel economy  and that makes these cars to be considered as environment-friendly.

While the intervals may vary, it's generally advisable to change the oil and filter more frequently than in traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. This is due to the additional stress placed on the engine from the electric motor and regenerative braking.

Tips for Hybrid Users

• Avoid Overheating:
  Hybrids can be prone to overheating, especially in hot weather or during heavy traffic. Monitor the temperature gauge and avoid excessive idling or strenuous driving in extreme conditions.
• Efficient Driving Habits:
  Practice eco-friendly driving habits to maximize fuel efficiency. Avoid aggressive acceleration and braking, and consider using the car's regenerative braking system to recharge the battery.
• Battery Care:
  If your hybrid has a plug-in charging capability, charge the battery regularly to maintain its capacity and performance. Avoid deep discharges, as they can shorten the battery's lifespan.
• Regular Maintenance:
  To ensure optimal performance and longevity, follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule for your hybrid car. This includes regular oil changes, transmission fluid flushes, and battery checks.
