It still requires more fuel to move loads than when it is "empty". A hill adds load when uphill and lessens it downhill. Against the wind or with it. When it runs out of whatever fuel you have to add more. The electrical parts of the car facilitate the engines to run efficiently. Safely. The same principle applies to every system. Including you, me and everyone else. That the range of a combustion system requires X amount of fuel to travel the same distance, the difference is in the efficiency gap between hrdro-carbons and current battery tech. The hybrid system is far superior to both alone. I would still prefer that energy was transmitted just as other wavelengths of frequency waves are for everything wireless. "Tooling" around in my flying car has been sort of a dream since I first watched the Jetsons.
That is true, but in most conventional vehicles, the battery is separate from the engine while a electric car has the battery power the engine.
