Range extender electric vehicles (REEVs) can be a solution to range anxiety

A range extender electric vehicle ( REEV ) is a twist that brings an onboard generator to power the battery when running low.

Manufacturers such as BMW and Chevrolet have developed a gas motor that turns on when the battery depletes.

While there are only a handful of models on the market today , it raises the question of whether this method fixes range anxiety or if it's a loss cause.

The Mazda MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV will house the first rotary engine since the RX-8 sports car.

Mazda 's take on a gasoline-powered engine used as a generator is one of the few promising models that might succeed.

The Ram 1500 Ramcharger can be seen on the horizon and is the newest REEV being sold stateside.

Chinese carmaker Geely introduced the LEVC TX in 2017 through its subsidiary London EV Company (LEVC) The model is a carriage that mostly operates as a taxi in various cities in countries like the UK , Germany , and India .

Size is a major advantage for the electric black cab, enhancing egress and ingress, and has aids like a wheelchair ramp and a chair that rotates out to facilitate entry for a passenger with a disability.

With the batteries fully charged, the refreshed 2021 model can travel 116 miles without activating the turbocharged engine.
