I’m just wondering if it is truly less efficient than a traditional plug-in hybrid system. The example they use is a huge truck which will be inefficient no matter what.
Also, does it really matter for someone who commutes short distances daily and will maybe need to use gas for long range once a year?
It should be comparable in efficiency to Honda’s hybrids, which operate on a similar principle where the gas motor mostly just acts as a generator. They’re more efficient than a pure gas vehicle, but are the least efficient hybrids on the market by a pretty wide margin
