From this video, this guy is testing what happens when there is no gas (and no battery eventually).
At 01:30 in the video, he mentioned that the car doesn't go as fast and it has reduced the performance because the engine is not available; hence he couldn't merge the highway as fast as he could have done otherwise.

Never tested this myself. This is unexpected for me as well since I know the car is and should be a pure electric car and its EV performance should not tie to how much gas the engine has.
Any thoughts?
