IMHO a full hybrid = a 100% EV car + gasoline engine. It uses nothing but a battery for your daily drive to work.
[EDIT - An example of a full hybrid is the RAV4 EV, with a gasoline engine attached, to provide unlimited range:
- You use the electric motor for your daily commute
- And you use the gasoline engine for weekend trips to the beach (or any other trip greater than 100 miles)]
That means all of today's hybrids are "mild" hybrids.
(Aside - And the Chevy "turn-off" pickup truck is NOT a hybrid. It's just an automatic ignition. Nothing special about that.)
