The article discusses the rise of extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs), which combine electric motors and internal combustion engines. Recognized as a bridge between gas and electric vehicles, EREVs allow for battery charging via standard EV chargers, including fast charging options. Unlike hybrids, where gas engines power wheels directly, EREVs utilize gas engines primarily to generate electricity when battery power depletes. Automakers in Europe and the U.S. are keen on adopting this technology to facilitate a shift from traditional gas cars, although concerns about consumer confusion remain.
There's BEVs, HEVs, PHEVs, and ICE cars, but now American shoppers may soon encounter EREVs—extended-range electric vehicles bridging gas and electric cars.
ERAs blend electric and gas power efficiently, using battery energy primarily while also generating electricity with an internal combustion engine when needed.
