If you want to get into semantics: it could be argued that the car has an unlimited range. If you fill up the tank, and drive 40 miles a day/charge it every night -- you'll never empty that tank. So the car can go "Infinity" on a single tank of gas. 
I have yet to understand why total range is so important, it's not what this car is about.................. |
Well range is important to me as I like being able to drive from the LA area to my wife's family's house in Sacramento (400ish miles) with room for error without having to stop for gas. But I would agree, range is given way more weight than it deserves, and too many people, including car mags, confuse it for efficiency.
