I've been wondering about hybrid car technology lately and I'll start with just the most basic question to try and gain some clarity. I'll ask more specific questions if they come to mind after someone explains this first question. So, I was wondering why an electric motor is used in hybrid cars if it's just being charged by an IC engine anyway. Why not just use that small IC engine alone to power the car and eliminate the electric motor?
