I think they do, but we've got the X1 for that. The wife's commute is 66 miles round trip so going pure electric can cover that but not with a lot of room for error (range is about 80-90 miles depending on the details). The range extender adds another 60 or so miles on top of that so you've got a safety blanket. There is a big brouhaha with some owners as the US version has the engine wait to kick in until the battery is down to 6% whereas the EU version you can use the engine whenever. While that is just a software change, it has to do with CARB credits and other political/financial/regulatory nonsense.
