series configuration
Some hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) use a series configuration, in which the heat engine or fuel cell together with a generator produce electricity for the battery pack and electric motor. Series HEVs have no mechanical connection between the hybrid power unit and the wheels; this means that all motive power is transferred from chemical energy to mechanical energy, to electrical energy, and back to mechanical energy to drive the wheels.
