"providing an all-electric driving range between 80 km and 120 km"

They probably just made the gas engine more efficient and crammed a massive gas tank in it. This doesn't seem to be anything novel.

Um, did they actually do something impressive or is it just a really big gas tank?

I'm struggling to imagine why anyone would even want 1,300 miles of range in a PHEV. Surely it'd be better to have a smaller tank and more space inside the vehicle.

Its a 15 gallon tank, and testing methodology that doesn't reflect reality.

The 2024 prius would get 750 miles according to the EPA's estimates if it had the same sized tank.
