What type of cars use both a combustion engine and a electric battery?

Cars that use both a combustion engine and an electric battery are known as hybrid vehicles. These cars combine an internal combustion engine with an electric motor to improve fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, and provide additional power when needed. Common examples include the Toyota Prius and Honda Insight. Some hybrids can operate solely on electric power for short distances, while others use the engine and electric motor in tandem for enhanced performance.
