Statting a Hybrid Vehicle

[pmulcahy11b]

My old minivan (a 2005 Kia Sedona) recently suffered a complete electrical failure and was totaled. I replaced it with a lightly-used 2017 Kia Niro EX hybrid.

The gas and electric motors are, in of themselves, not impressive, being 146 and 103 horsepower. However, put together, they are impressive. Mostly, the car uses the electric motor, with the gas being on a low rev. When power is necessary, the gas kicks in on high -- acceleration is enough that I keep finding myself inadvertently speeding.

Perhaps most impressive is the gas mileage -- over 50 MPG in the city.

(For those trying to stat, weight is 1.49 tons metric.)

Total performance figures is simple -- add the gas and electric together. I'm less sure about Consumption figures or how to stat what is essentially variable horsepower.

Some vehicles, like a version of the JLTV that is being tested, have hybrid engines. And I am unsure how to proceed. Ideas?
