"For the mountain stage of the Rallye, I rode with Jean-Marc Dubié in his hybrid Kangoo. This is one of 35 hybrid Kangoo's built by Renault, and was once owned by French President Jacques Chirac. The car is a series, plug-in hybrid. The NiCd battery gives a range around town of about 80 km. A small petrol engine can be used to generate additional electricity to run the motor, but not to charge the battery. The battery is recharged by plugging in to a standard electrical outlet."
