    Yeah. It's a hybrid gas/electric. It runs off both.

    Usually driving in the city it works off the electric motor/battery. When I accelerate quickly, the gas engine kicks on. When I cruise on the freeway, the gas runs the car mostly.

    When I brake, the friction from the rotors recharges the battery. The gas motor will also charge the battery while I cruise.

    So I never recharge it and I fill it with 10 gallons every 500 miles I go. Sorry, no metric conversion, though it does display that on, the on board computer. Which is also pretty cool. It's got a touch screen monitor.
