Why does the BMW i8 have a smaller range than other electric cars?

I've been researching different electric cars and noticed that the BMW i8 has a smaller range compared to others. Can you explain why that is?

The BMW i8 is a plug-in hybrid, meaning it has both an electric motor and a gasoline engine. This design compromises the battery size, resulting in a smaller electric range compared to fully electric cars like the Tesla Model S.

In addition to the electric motor, the BMW i8 also has a high-performance, turbocharged gasoline engine. This engine consumes more energy and reduces the overall range of the car.
