3. The car has a 1.4l gas engine to recharge the batteries when needed. This is how the range can be extended to approx 300 miles.

Did you find it interesting that it required premium gas? GDI technology perhaps?

I would rather see the donkey motor run on biodiesel.

Yes, interesting. I'm guessing they want to run the engine at a fairly low speed, and want to run a highish compression ratio. They say you can get more timing with GDI, so maybe that's where they're going.
