I understand the electric version is limited to 100 miles but if there is a range extender it's crucial that target for it is 200+ miles whle giving great fuel economy.
Range extender option means you can drive the car while a gas generator charges the batteries. Thus no range limitation because you can just stop and fill up if you take a long trip or run out of juice.
