A so-called Q-diode regulates the current flow between the lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries. This results in an increase in range in the NEDC cycle from 190 km (118 miles) previously to now up to 300 km (186 miles). A key factor in its low emissions is the optimum conversion of the methane in the exhaust gas.
