About as useless off-road as this:

Clearly, this guy has never gone anywhere more rugged or exotic than the perimeter fence of a resort hotel.

And this is what holds the world record for farthest road trip ever driven.

This thing is absurd and it broke down after 2 miles. Even if he can “take it anywhere” - there are hundreds of things that can go wrong (thousands?) which would render it dead in the water. How could he possibly need that many switches in the cab? It is designed to “go-anywhere” but can’t fit in a drive-thru. Hmm...

IT HAS A GAS TANK! IT’S A HYBRID!

IT HAS A GAS TANK! IT’S A HYBRID!

If it BURNS FUEL ONBOARD, it’s a HYBRID.

Even the DOT disagrees with you. Show up for your HOV sticker and you will be getting the same one that all the other hybrid vehicles get. Get a Leaf or a Tesla if you want anything else.

In California, you can easily tell from the outside if the i3 has the range extender. Green sticker? Then range extender ICE inside. White sticker? Pure electric. See?

“It is an electric powered car with an onboard gasoline powered electricity generator.” .... So, it’s a hybrid then.

If it has an ICE and electric motors, then it is a HYBRID between an EV and an ICE.

I stand corrected.

Gas tank = hybrid

Gas tank = hybrid

Not quite, see my reply to Sergio, the volt’s engine is indeed connected to the wheels and is used when the battery is completely discharged and you are going above 70ish mph.

The Volt is a series hybrid. The ICE is mechanicaly connected to the drive chain for use in certain conditions. However it does not have to operate in that mode. However because it does have an ICE much of the maintenance cost savings of a pure electric are not realized.
