To start- What is a hybrid car?
Hybrid vehicles are those that run on both gasoline and electricity. Hybrid vehicles propel themselves using both electric motors and gasoline engines. In other words, the car is sometimes powered solely by an electric motor, while other times it is powered solely by a gas engine. In some cases, it is powered by both a gas engine and an electric motor.
Almost every automaker in the United States offers some type of hybrid vehicle, ranging from supercars like the Porsche 918 to minivans like the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid and pickup trucks like the Ram 1500.
Volvo V90 T8
The V90 T8 is an excellent choice for a comfortable and practical plug-in hybrid estate.

The V90, which starts at £59,655 and comes with the T8 powertrain, can achieve 128.4mpg and 49g/km CO2, as well as the sprint from 0-60mph in 5 seconds flat.

The executive saloon will be able to achieve 138mpg and travel 41 miles on all-electric power alone thanks to a twin-turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol engine and an electric motor. The 330e, which goes on sale in July 2019, is a favorite among business drivers due to its excellent economy.
