The cure for range anxiety? BYD says its new hybrid cars can go for 1,200 miles without needing gas or recharging

The dream of cars that can go 1,000 miles and more on one tank of gasoline or a single charge of batteries may soon become a reality thanks to Chinese car maker BYD. 

As reported by Business Insider, BYD has claimed its new hybrid powertrain system, which will be used in its Seal 06 DM-i car, can deliver up to 1,250 miles before it needs any refueling or charging. That hugely eclipses the range of even the best EVs – they tend to run out of power at 300 miles on average and 500 miles at the top end – and is nearly twice the range of rival US hybrid cars.
