Not all hybrid vehicles are the same. Some are called "hybrids" because they use battery power to propel or help propel the vehicle, some hybrids may or may not plug-in to charge, and some may or may not have regenerative braking. Some hybrid models have both a high-voltage battery and a conventional 12-volt battery.
