    why don't Japanese auto-makers embrace the super+ hybrid that was embraced by Chinese auto makers. having electric motors and a small engine to constantly charge / drive the motors.

    Japanese auto makers are already good at hybrid power trains, small engines.

    surely extended range vehicles - 1000km+/700mi+ shouldn't be limited to Chinese brands only.
