The battery is limited to 20-80% charge. 20% is 0 on the battery gauge and 80% is full on the gauge. This enable the battery to last the life of the car. Damage to the battery chemistry occurs outside these limits. Since we carry the engine, range anxiety is not an issue.
Now if you run out of battery and then run out of gas, the car will give you back the battery for a few miles then shut off.
Another cool feature is bumper to bumper traffic using the engine. The engine will cycle on, run for a few minutes to charge a couple miles of range, then shut off. I got 66 mpg while in stop and go traffic. Really smart car!
