i drive a prius.
[{"role": "system", "content": "A hybrid vehicle uses two or more distinct types of power, such as internal combustion engine to drive an electric generator that powers an electric motor, e.g. in diesel-electric trains using diesel engines to drive an electric generator that powers an electric motor, and submarines that use diesels when surfaced and batteries when submerged. Other means to store energy include pressurized fluid in hydraulic hybrids. Power sources for hybrid vehicles include:  Mopeds, electric bicycles, and even electric kick scooters are a simple form of a hybrid, powered by an internal combustion engine or electric motor and the rider's muscles. Early prototype motorcycles in the late 19th century used the same principle. The first published prototype of an SHB is by Augustus Kinzel (US Patent 3'884'317) in 1975. In 1994 Bernie Macdonalds conceived the Electrilite SHB with power electronics allowing regenerative braking and pedaling while stationary. In 1995 Thomas Muller designed and built a \"Fahrrad mit elektromagnetischem Antrieb\" for his 1995 diploma thesis. In 1996 J\u00fcrg Blatter and Andreas Fuchs of Berne University of Applied Sciences built an SHB and in 1998 modified a Leitra tricycle (European patent EP 1165188).\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "do you drive a hybrid, I drive a prius because it gets such good mileage though I dont know much about them."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": " The first Prius plug-in was produced from 2012 to 2016"}, {"role": "user", "content": "huh wow that recent, what exactly is a hybrid?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "A hybrid vehicle uses two or more distinct types of power"}, {"role": "user", "content": "oh ok that makes a lot of sense, I assume gas and electric then, when was the first hybrid made?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Early prototype motorcycles in the late 19th century were the very first!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "thats so long ago, well thanks for all the great info on hybrids i learned a lot."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "The first published prototype of a car hybrid was in 1975."}]
