Did you even follow the link with all of the details?
Yeah, I did.... no where have I seen an article that says the gas motor is actually connected to axles that drive the wheels. They all say that at certain times the gas motor kicks in to produce electricity for an electric motor that drives the wheels, even if the batteries aren't dead yet.... like an electric turbo boost when more juice is needed. The gas engine doesn't directly drive the car though.
