So today I went to Manila Autoshow. I am looking at this SUV and the salesman tells me it's a all electric vehicle. I ask "what's the range?". He states about 95 kms. I said really 95 kms? Then he says then the gas engine takes over. So naturally my reply is "so it's not all electric but a hybrid". He says no it's just electric. I said to him if it has a gas engine and battery power it's a hybrid. That is the definition of a hybrid. Meanwhile a press guy was filming our interaction?. So who knows where that could lead. Sad a company representative so clueless on his product.

Clearly, he has no clue what he speaks about.
Why would someone promote and all electric vehicle a range of 95km (60miles)?
Maybe he meant the top speed was 95kmH, but even that is weak sauce.
