Full range electrified (PHEV) junks, fake range, fuel consumption, 0 – 100 km, 4×4… all with battery fully charged & without degradation. Too much of unproven software tech can lead to complete failure / malfunctions. Range extender 2L turbocharged (unreliable) engine adds further complexity. No after sales,spares & zero resale value. Without charging battery, it’s becomes dead weight. Once thermal runaway reaction triggers, one has 2 – 3 sec to react, before batter explosion will turn human body in to charred piece…. Welcome to the unchartered automotive nightmare !
