"providing an all-electric driving range between 80 km and 120 km"

They probably just made the gas engine more efficient and crammed a massive gas tank in it. This doesn't seem to be anything novel.

Absolutely, this story is bullshit.
If you have a car that can drive 20 km/l which isn't exceptional, you only need a 100l gas tank to be able to drive 2000 km.
To claim to be able to do that is an absolutely non story, any gas car can do that easily with just a slightly bigger tank.
