The gas tank is only a couple of gallons and the engine is 647cc two-cylinder. The optional range extender adds only 66 miles to the total range of the vehicle and kicks in when the battery is at a certain level of discharge, not "empty". Not the same paradigm as the Volt, Honda Clarity PHEV or Prius PHEV.

One of my friends has one, it's a big step up from the Nissan Leaf that he had previously.
