What is XGEM's Performance?

The XGEM-HEV operates on regular fuels such as gasoline, diesel, propane, and alcohol. These fuels power a proprietary engine-generator which continuously charges the on-board batteries and the electric wheels.
Optional photovoltaic panels mounted on the roof can charge the vehicle while it is parked.
