The Tiger tank was hybrid electric. Overly complicated, prone to breakdowns. But it seems to work for cars.

There was only one Tiger that was electric powered. It wasn't a hybrid, it was a diesel-electric in the same manner as a modern railway locomotive. There were no massive batteries in that tiger used for propulsion; just one to start the engine.

That single prototypes was made by Porsche. It did make it into combat; however, a total absence of spare parts took it out of service in a hurry.

All other Tigers were powered by conventional engines.
