    It’s been a couple months but if I remember right the gas engine worked alongside the battery, it wasn’t possible to direct drive the car with the gas engine. Yes, it could charge the battery.

      Every hybrid made today has the engine direct drive the wheels when it’s most efficient to do so. Serial hybrids died because they weren’t as efficient.
