Since they first appeared on the auto market in the late 90s, hybrid cars have grown in popularity, and it’s easy to see why. They offer the best of both worlds: an electric vehicle’s fuel efficiency and a gasoline-powered car’s range.However, hybrid cars have technological components that require different care from those in conventional vehicles. Whether you plan to buy a hybrid for the first time or were an early adopter, you should know about proper hybrid car maintenance to keep your vehicle running efficiently, ready to take you wherever you need to go. Hybrid vehicles combine two power sources—an internal combustion engine and an electric motor—so they require a different approach to maintenance. While some maintenance aspects are similar to those of a traditional car, others are unique to hybrids. For example, a conventional car typically has a 12-volt battery that provides enough power to start the car. The hybrid battery is larger, more complex, and can generate enough power to actually drive the car. So, in addition to regular oil changes and tire rotations, you’ll also need to pay closer attention to your hybrid’s battery health.Another difference is how hybrid cars handle braking. Most hybrids use regenerative braking. That’s a system that captures the kinetic energy normally lost in braking and uses it to recharge the battery. This system improves fuel efficiency and reduces wear and tear on the brake pads. However, you’ll still need regular inspections to keep all the parts running smoothly and reliably.

What maintenance does a hybrid car need?

Hybrid cars need similar maintenance to conventional cars, including oil changes, brake inspections, and tire rotations. Some hybrid cars may also need additional checks for the battery and electric motor.
