The BMW i8 uses a plug-in hybrid system, meaning that it can run on both electricity and gasoline. When you first start the car, it will run on electricity before switching to gasoline to conserve battery power. As you drive, the car will constantly analyze the road and your driving habits to determine the most efficient way to use both the electric and gasoline power.

The hybrid engine in the BMW i8 uses regenerative braking to recharge the battery while you drive. This means that every time you brake, kinetic energy is converted into electricity and stored in the battery. This not only helps you save on fuel costs, but it also reduces emissions.
