Some key features:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You do not need to plug in the vehicle. The battery is charged via regenerative braking and by the engine while you drive.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The electric motor assists the gasoline engine, improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions compared to a standard gas model.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">While the electric motor does provide independent propulsion at times (for lower speeds or light loads), the electric range is very limited, and the gasoline engine remains the primary power source for much of your trip. \u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4><span
