I've seen a big spread on range. From around 100 to even over 200. What the release said was it could do 145 miles EV before the 3.6 kicked on, but that doesn't mean it still wouldn't have a bunch left in the battery at that point. Maybe it's keeping over 30% in reserves to both make it last longer, make it recharge faster, and have some for say towing a mountian pass. It sounds like you can also set it to start right away and keep the battery topped off for say a camp ground or construction site.
