The Hybrid Electric Vehicle Patent relates to a “front-loaded” hybrid propulsion system set to develop and manage driving and control profiles for switching from battery operated to a second propulsion source (e.g., combustion engine, fuel cell, etc.). Profiles can be based on driving habits, distance traveled and the hybrid cruising range. The invention factors these driving patterns into the control of a hybrid vehicle system. As such, the present invention “front loads” the electrical power draw on the hybrid propulsion system so that greater amounts of stored electrical power are drawn down in the early operation of the vehicle. Operation in this mode enhances overall fuel economy while preserving the capability of achieving a realistic driving range. This patent is available for acquisition.
