If you haven't yet, sit through
They won the X-Prize with an ICE. He covers your question a 3:00-5:00 (it's 30% of 80%), but it's all fascinating.
So, pure liquid fuel or pure electric. Hybrids are like E-85, as compared to a good idea. Having said that though, I'm partial to the
Scuderi Engine.
Part of the deal is with an air tank in the interconnect passage you have an ICE, a Kinetic Energy recovery subsystem and a compressed air only mode for moving it ariound the yard or urban centers. Without a lot of added parts count.
