Question:

Gas / Electric hybrid - electrical accessories?

If i were to give a hybrid vehicle to a teenager, and they decided to add a bunch of high powered electrical equipment:1. Does this utilize the same battery that the car motors use to propel the car.2. Do gas-electric hybrids have alternators capable of generating electricity while the car is running?3. What are the limitations of adding additional electrical accessories to the car? ie. DVD players, video screens, amplifiers, extra power outlets for laptops

Answer:

1 Yes there is a seperate battery for auxillaries and a seperate battery that runs the electric motor/charger. 2 the alternator that runs the auxillaries is a normal 60 to 90 watt unit. It cannot charge the batteries that drive the car. 3 no differant than addind to a regular car.
