The long battery life is combined with three different ways of charging: fast charging, slow charging or simply filling up the tank with gas, meaning you don’t have to worry about running out of battery. Unlike most hybrids currently on the market, the engine doesn’t actually power the wheels and is used exclusively as a range extender to recharge the battery.
