Default How far travelling a Hybrid with no petrol

Had to hand my old corolla into a main dealer recently and was given a
courtesy car, a new automatic Yaris hybrid for the day.
The petrol gauge was just above empty, so since i had a little running
around to do that day; I collected my five litre petrol can to put in
the boot.
When handing the car back i told them i had taken the can with me
because of where the petrol gauge was.
Three of them gave me very knowing smiles and said: "its electric sir
you only need petrol to charge the battery ".
When i asked how far this new Yaris would run if it had used all the
petrol, none of them knew.
Any idea anyone?
