What do hybrid cars do (such as the Prius) when the battery doesn’t have charge anymore and you don’t use the regenerative braking as much to recharge the battery?

What is the trade off for hybrid ‘green cars’?
Bunz asked:
Considering their alternative power comes from electricity, and electricity is produced by burning coal or produced by nuclear plants. Burnig coal and nuclear waste are hardly envirnmentally friendly. So are these hybrid cars really all that much better than regular cars just burning petrol??
