They both contain internal combustion engines and run of petrol(gasoline) a hybrid however also uses an electric motor and battery that receives charge from braking. both are used for additional power. it is important to note that unless driven in a very specific way hybrid cars are only very slightly more fuel efficient than average cars and actually less so when compared to super high economy cars such as the VW blue motion. when you factor in the disposal of batteries from hybrids that are actually just as bad as regular ones. its all a big fallacy.
Very few, if any, hybrid cars receive a charge from braking. The charge comes from the engine when it is running or a power outlet at home. Because of this this they are no more efficient, overall, than a standard car. They cost more and as is stated above the disposal of the batteries is expensive, as is replacing them.
