  1. I am sure I have misunderstood something. Is it really possible that such a big car come with this small electric engine power?
    “The fully electric version is equipped with the electric motors offering an output of 62 kW and 88 kW respectively”

    Perhaps this data is with the range extender, or perhaps there are more than one electromotor?
