“Anybody familiar with how Tesla gets those 200 mile ranges?”

A light car and a much, much bigger battery pack than vehicles like the Volt or Prius.

Interestingly, most hybrids use dozens of large batteries specifically made for automobiles. The Tesla uses thousands of small lithium ion batteries of the sort you’d buy for an LED flashlight or camera.
