New Energy Range Extender Battery Cabinet Universal

What is a range extender system?

As the name suggests, it extends the range of an electric vehicle. A range extender system essentially consists of an additional electric motor that acts as a generator, an inverter for voltage conversion and a small combustion engine. The latter powers the generator, which charges the high-voltage battery on the go whenever needed.

What is an electric vehicle with range extender?

In addition, the drive technology in an electric vehicle with range extender is simpler than that in a plug-in hybrid. This speeds up development times. In its traditional form, a REEV is a series hybrid where propulsion is purely electric; neither the small internal combustion engine nor the associated electric motor drives the wheels.

How efficient is a range extender?

Since a permanently excited electric motor (PSM) with scalable power outputs of 70kW to 110kW serves as a generator in the "eRE," the range extender is highly efficient. "One advantage for our customers is that we can rely on robust and proven components from our electric and hybrid vehicle portfolio for the range extender.

What is an example of a range extender?

An example of this is the range extender. As the name suggests, it extends the range of an electric vehicle. A range extender system essentially consists of an additional electric motor that acts as a generator, an inverter for voltage conversion and a small combustion engine.
