I shouldn't make any difference. Once the battery is flat it runs off the
engine just like every hybrid car ever built.

Though with only 182bhp for a vehicle that size, probably quite
slowly.

Most hybrid cars, by contrast, have an engine that is more than
adequate to power the car on its own.

I recall the Parry People Mover coming up as possibly another vehicle
whose "top-up" internal combustion engine might not be enough to propel
it on its own.
