A hybrid system combines different power sources to maximise each one's strengths, while compensating for each other's shortcomings. A petrol-electric hybrid system, for example (as used in the Toyota Prius), combines an internal combustion engine's high-speed power with the clean efficiency and low-speed torque of an electric motor that never needs to be plugged in to charge.

I am concerned about Hybrid technology as it is new.
For your peace of mind, Prius comes with a 5yr/90 000km service plan. The warranty on the battery of the electric motor has been extended to 5yr/90 000km, in line with the service plan.
