Automakers Turn Back To Gas Engines In New EREV Electric Vehicles
Original: What Is An EREV? Why Automakers Are Putting Gas Engines Back In EVs
Automakers are increasingly developing EREVs — extended-range electric vehicles that pair a battery and electric motors with a small onboard gasoline engine used only as a generator. The approach promises electric-style driving without range anxiety, and several manufacturers are bringing such models to market as sales of pure battery EVs slow in some markets. Drivers and industry watchers are debating whether this hybrid-style compromise is a practical stepping stone or a step back from full electrification.
Why now: Growing interest in range-extended EVs as automakers hedge on all-electric lineups amid slowing EV demand.
