Am I correct in thinking the rear wheels are only driven by an electric motor? So the car loses its AWD ability if the batteries are flat?
The diesel engine can power the electric motor even if the traction battery is flat. Thus AWD is always available albeit not very economical.
Also do the batteries charge on the move?
Thanks

The diesel engine can power the electric motor even when the traction battery is depleted so AWD is always available albeit not particularly economical.
