I shouldn't make any difference. Once the battery is flat it runs off the engine just like every hybrid car ever built. Though with only 182bhp for a vehicle that size, probably quite slowly.

Anyone who has been stuck in a car behind one crawling its way up highgate hill or around southgate will testify to that. B2003 |
