Why The Hybrid Ford Mustang Is The Car Enthusiasts Have Been Waiting For
#11
It's not an electric car though, it's a hybrid. Would the combined power change when the battery runs out of charge and begins running off the alternator? I'm honestly asking as I don't have much personal experience with hybrids. I'm fairly sure the BMW i8 maintains the same performance after the battery is out of charge and begins running off the alt alongside the engine, though.

Interesting will be when somebody actually manages to build a motor into a wheel and hub. A simple design is easy, but still no practical ones (although every year or two, someone announces they've cracked the problem).
For performance, a hybrid can simultaneously draw from the battery and engine.
