Graham, would you explain the difference in configurations between a
"parallel" and a "series" hybrid? You have me confused here, every
though I am familiar with the difference between large UPS systems
where their is a considerable difference between a parallel and a
series configuration. Still, these have an external energy source, so
how does this operate in a vehicle lacking an external energy source?

Serious question. Please answer the question, and not simply link to
a website.

Pretty simple.

In a parallel hydrid the wheels are driven by both the ICE and the
electric motor when full power is needed through some combining
gearbox or whatever.

In a series hybrid the wheels are driven by electric motors only.
When the battery gets low, the ICE turns on to recharge it but has no
physical connection to the wheels.

I hate to say this but I must.

Perfect explanation Eeyore.
