Automotive Can I convert a combustion engine car to a hybrid car?

AI Thread Summary
Converting a combustion engine car to a hybrid involves significant complexity and may not be feasible for most individuals. Key challenges include the need for extensive modifications to internal systems, as well as potential issues with vehicle approval and insurance. While DIY electric vehicle forums provide resources and examples of conversion projects, success often depends on technical expertise. In the U.S., it is possible to build and license a car if it meets minimum standards, but regulations vary by country. Overall, such conversions are generally discouraged for those without advanced knowledge and experience.

You could never get vehicle approval or insurance.
If you have to ask, it is impossible, so you cannot do it.

In the U.S., anybody can build a car and get it licensed. It just needs to meet certain minimum standards. Other countries are different.

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now..
