    I've never been interested in a hybrid before. I (think I) know a little bit about them but want to confirm what I think I know and learn more to be able to make a good decision on my next car purchase. I just joined here and am exploring the forums and reading but wonder if there are other good and simple sources of information. I don't want to become the next hybrid engineer, just to have the basics. So, what are the best sources of basic technical education?

    Tons of videos on YouTube, too. This is one of my favorite videos that shows how the hybrid drivetrain works. It's a Lexus CT200h, but it's the same as a Prius.
