Toxic gases are the chemical output, including carbon monoxide. When combined with a electric motors that recharge from braking action, no chemical processes are involved, just electro mechanical. This is the Toyota Prius method. Using hydrogen fuel cells is another matter. When hydrogen and oxygen are combined to produce energy, the "exhaust" is non-toxic water.<br><b>References : </b><br>General knowledge Gasoline combines rapidly with Oxygen in a heat (spark) induced explosion in a basic car engine.
