Hybrid cars are mostly parallel hybrids. Only the Chevy Volt comes to mind as a serial hybrid.

Chevy Volt was still a parallel hybrid. The gasoline engine was used for driving the wheels for highway cruise because it was more efficient. I think the range extender version of the BMW i3 was a pure serial hybrid though
