It runs off of batteries, which can be charged by plugging in, for 200-250 miles. Then an onboard generator kicks in to run the vehicle. If you stop, the generator keeps chugging to charge the battery while you're off doing whatever.

For road trips, you can continue to drive, as the generator will power the car as long as there's gas for it to burn!

It's an electric car that can charge itself, and do so using existing fuel infrastructure.
