The Honda Insight is a 2-seater hatchback hybrid automobile manufactured by Honda. It was the first mass-produced hybrid automobile sold in the United States, introduced in 1999 (in Japan, however, the first generation of the Toyota Prius was launched in 1997).

A hybrid vehicle uses multiple propulsion systems to provide motive power. This most commonly refers to gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles, which use gasoline (petrol) and electric batteries to power internal-combustion engines (ICEs) and electric motors. Modern mass-produced hybrids, such as the Toyota Prius, recharge their batteries by capturing kinetic energy via regenerative braking. As well, when cruising or idling, some of the output of the combustion engine is fed to a generator (merely the electric motor(s) running in generator mode ) which produces electricity to charge the batteries. This contrasts with all- electric cars which use batteries charged by an external source such as the grid, or a range extending trailer. Nearly all hybrids still require gasoline as their sole fuel source— though diesel and other fuels such as ethanol or plant based oils have also seen occasional use. Some hybrids have been equiped with external electrical recharging capability significantly increasing their mileage. The toyota prius when first came out in Japan was an origionaly externaly rechargeable vehicle. Organizations such as CalCars instal additional plug in recharge capabilities giving hybrind fuel efficiency of over 100 mpg. For short trips, some plug in capable hybrids can work gas free, such as to the grocery store. ...more on Wikipedia about "Hybrid vehicle"
