Hello Jasper Denney Welcome to Wikipedia! As nobody has welcomed you yet, I thought it only polite to do so myself. I just wanted to let you know that the article Definition of hybrid vehicle is the wrong place for that. Instead you should place the text in a user sub-page/sandbox. As a courtesy I have included the text of that article below. Here are a few useful links:

This is a placeholder created out of desperation since the Hybrid vehicle article's discussion was clogged with arguments on what constitutes a hybrid, and particularly on what a series hybrid is.
HowStuffWorks.com states simply, "Any vehicle that combines two or more sources of power that can directly or indirectly provide propulsion power is a hybrid."
Possible original sources of power include:
- Fuel
- Gasoline
- Diesel
- Hydrogen
- Electricity
- Solar power
- Regenerative braking
- Plug-in charging
Most people, including HowStuffWorks.com, are of the opinion that traditional diesel-electric locomotives are hybrids. But arguably their power comes solely from one source: diesel fuel. It's used to spin a generator to feed electricity to electric motors that propel the locomotive. The question is whether or not the generator or electric motors constitute a power source.
