Mercedes-Benz Concept BlueZERO

BlueZERO E-CELL Plus, essentially a series hybrid, has
a range of about 100 kilometers (62 miles) from its plug-in battery
pack; when the batteries run out, a rear-mounted 1.0-liter 3-cylinder
gasoline engine—the same powerplant in the Smart Fortwo—fires
up and acts like a generator, running at a constant 3500 rpm to feed a
continuous stream of 50 kw (67 bhp) to the electric motor to keep the
car going. Total range on a single tank: 600 kilometers (373 miles)
before juicing up again either at the pump or the plug.
