Is there any difference in the way hybrid vehicles drive? Braking is a little different, as hybrid systems regenerate energy through the braking systems.

Is it true that hybrid vehicles 'turn off' when the vehicle is at a red light? Yes and no. The gas engine stops running, which is a primary reason why hybrid systems save fuel and limit emissions. When you step on the accelerator, however, the electric generator instantly starts the engine.

In fact, hybrid technology is ideally suited for larger vehicles. Chevrolet currently has plans to introduce a Silverado and Tahoe hybrid version in the near future.
