size of battery needed for my solar panel

That does seem to vary with vehicles, my hybrid is so called as it can go on a road or in the field, all e-bikes require one to pedal, but is seems one does not need to have a direct link of pedals to wheels, but with other vehicles it means twin engined one electric and the other carbon based fuel. But the same method has been used to power railway engines and simply called diesel-electric, hybrid transport has been around for a long time, even a film made, called Two Mules for Sister Sara the mule is a hybrid between a horse and donkey, there have been many off-road vehicles called mules View attachment 402125so suppose they must be hybrids! But a hybrid is basic a mixture where you have the worst of both systems.

So its an electric car or bike what he means. Did you not say above that you charge an electric bike up at a pub. is there no charging stations for this?

1 kW of solar panels, will give you around 66 kWh per month. Judging by mine in Mid-Wales.

is that in peek winter or peek summer?

I dont know what a hybrid is, back i take it the battery is all way on change and never gets used

No, it was charged up, and waits in a box until/unless the 12v battery in the car goes flat.

A hybrid is a car with a petrol engine and an electric motor with a 400 volt* battery,

It has a 12v battery which operates the central locking and turns on the computer and the 400v bsttery.

The 12v battery does not start the engine. But if it is flat and cannot turn on the 400v battery, the car can't do anything. The 400v battery, when it is turned on, charges the 12v battery.

*it might not actually be 400, I can't remember
