Range Extended Electric Vehicle - an overview - ScienceDirect
WEBREEVs overcome many of the short-comings of EVs by having a ‘range extender’ unit, which consists of an on-board fuel converter that converts a liquid fuel, such as gasoline, into electrical energy whilst the vehicle is driving.
Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles - Alternative Fuels Data Center
WEBVehicles of this type are often referred to as extended-range electric vehicles. The electric motor drives the wheels almost all of the time, but the vehicle can switch to work like a parallel hybrid at highway speeds when the battery is depleted.
WEBThe integration of an auxiliary power unit (APU) can extend the range of a vehicle, making them more attractive to consumers. The increased interest in optimizing electric vehicles is generating research around range extenders.
