Hybrid Cars

Forgive me for seeming thick, but I see ads on UK TV for 'Self-Charging Hybrid Cars'

 

Is the whole idea of a hybrid that the IC engine charges up on-board batteries which can then power the vehicle electrically.

So are ALL hybrids not Self-Charging?

Hybrid Cars

Once the battery has been depleted, the vehicle can slip back to being a regular fuel-fed hybrid and recharge its batteries using the gasoline-powered motor as a generator. The big difference here is that you can also plug it in and recharge the electric motor instead of using the engine to charge it up.
