The Blade Battery used in the BYD Qin seems to have a 500-600 KM range [0].

Essentially, it's an EV that has a Hybrid ICE option instead of the other way around.

The article discussed here plainly states that the batteries in the hybrid cars are about 10 and 16 kW. The article you link is about the technology being used in buses, with capacity up to 500 kW giving buses ranges of up to 600 km...

Anyway.
