1,000 miles of range, it said, and requires refills of distilled water about every 200 miles.
My car has a range of 6000 miles. That is how often I have to stop to change the motor oil. Of course, I also have to stop every 300 miles to get some gas.

RTFA and I think the editor was confused. It says 1,000 miles uninterrupted range is possible. I believe the 200 mile number was just for the prototype.
In the test car, the water must be refilled "every few hundred kilometers"--perhaps every 200 miles.

From TFA:
"One such question: How easy would it be to replace the aluminum plates--and at what minimum range an automaker thinks such a replacement would be viable (1,000 miles? 5,000 miles? more?)."

As far as we know, there are no vehicles on the market today that offer 1,000 miles of continuous range using either gasoline or diesel fuel.

I don't know who this "we" is, and I don't know who you are quoting, but plenty of people have reached 1000 miles in diesel Passats.

I was quoting the article. I make no endorsement of the statement, I was simply pointing out that they hoped this vehicle would make it 1,000 continuous miles.
