Please been following comments to see if anyone could explain what a hybrid car is conveniently.
How can one sport an hybrid car, is i possible by just looking(without looking deep)?

Is always written on the vehicle front of drivers side and the booth area.
Is expensive to maintain as Nigeria mechanics can’t fix it when issues arise . Battery is very costly to buy .
Seen a wine red Lexus 350h(hybrid) wasting in the mechanic since 2018 . The car has transmission issue and it was priced at #1.5M that year , you can guess how much it will be in 2022 . Then ask yourself if is worth buying?
Also a hybrid highlander owned by a lecturer that thought me Engr 301 that year . He rarely drives it though

[quote author=Gokoyer1401 post=110990308]I am not an expert but in simple terms, a hybrid vehicle is one that uses two or more distinct types of power. They have special batteries (more expensive than normal batteries). Hybrid cars can use this battery for sometime while driving but when the power of the battery dissipates, the car will automatically switch to the fuel( e.g petrol). The battery will be charged again after the trip ends. So, hybrid carsl have extremely good fuel efficiency and they are generally more expensive than normal cars

To answer your second question, some of the hybrid cars will have 'hybrid' written at the back of the cars e.g, Toyota Prius. One way or the other, there will be some inscription or logo on the body of the car indicating that this is an hybrid car.

There are very few mechanics that can handle hybrid cars in Nigeria right now.
I will like to add also that I think the car switches between petrol and battery depending on the amount of engine power demanded by the driver.

I noticed when you drive the car on a level road or sloppy area the engine sound goes off and you can still accelerate but the moment you try to climb a hilly road or you kick down the accelerator the engine sound will come back (meaning you are back on petrol)

Hello Nairalanders.
I have found my stolen car, alongside the thief. The guy was caught around General Paint (Just after Ajah and Abraham Adesanya) where I believe he had intended to sell it off to those that butcher cars.
I really want to thank and appreciate everyone and this forum for helping me put out word and for the kind gesture I've received from a lot of you.

God bless you all abundantly.

I think a hybrid car will contain two power source an engine and electric motor,the engine will charge the batteries and the electric motor will take over at some point,it will be a complicated tech
Explaining it sounds easy. But I know it won't be as easy as read.

Can you pls explain why hybrid cars can't be stolen. I dont understand sir.

The answer lies in the abundance of responses previously.
But I will just add a couple more detailed but simple reasons on the surface
The car in question cannot be later than a 2012 model. I suspect it is about 2010.

So it carries a twelve year old energy pack (if it has not been changed). Anyone knows what a twelve year old 'battery' can deliver in terms of energy storage and potential problems even the highly acclaimed lithium-ion batteries. Only the owner will know what performance (energy efficiency) he is getting out of the system but I don't think it will be much. A twelve year old battery can even be considered a potential harzard.

Secondly, 2010/12 hybrid tech was still in its infancy so expect a lot of troubleshooting. That is why a lot of people prefer to wait for technology to be established before investing in it. The market for hybrid vehicles is bound to collapse very soon with the establishment of all electric vehicles around the world so expect a flood of these hybrids in the future. Cheap to purchase but impossible to maintain. Some major auto companies have discontinued the production of hybrids entirely.
