    The Chevy volt, and BMW i3 had range extenders. The small displacement engine didn’t hook up to the wheels, but it allowed for energy to be produced and extend the range of the vehicle. This is something that should be offered on most EVs. I think this would help with a Ev adoption, especially rural areas

      The Volt’s range extender was fine mostly, but the i3’s was so unreliable and costly to maintain and repair that they ended up dropping the REX version and just selling the i3 as a pure EV for the last few years. People with short commutes also had an issue where the gasoline would spoil in the tank if it wasn’t used after several months. It’s a cool idea but it definitely needs advancement from the 2010s-era

      15:25 I think the reality is we're heading towards a future where driving is more and more of a passive experience.
      There is a safety aspect missing with current cars which rely so heavily on touchscreens for everything and especially the ones which bury things you want to hand in secondary menus.
      Too many brands have rushed to follow Tesla opposed to question the logic and functionality of their interior designs.

      This adds more weight, components and complexity to the whole system, without a big benefit in most cases (from a European viewpoint, distances in the US are far longer). So in general it makes more sense to just put a bigger battery in the vehicle. A range extender EV is just a type of plugin hybrid.

    Sheer brilliance as a design. It makes the beloved past modern, while giving us actual tactile controls that are instantly familiar and easy to work with while driving. The interior is welcoming and a place one wants to spend time. The exterior speaks for itself... Absolutely stunning. Although the bulk of the driveline is clearly not Rivian, such as live axles and such, I suspect that there is a lot of Rivian DNA involved, and I'd see that as a huge positive. At age 63, I haven't been this excited over a new product offering in decades. As for the range extender, it's exactly what we need gere in the US of A. And built in the USA as well? I predict a huge win here.

    Gas engines in EVs have been done, just in other countries. Ram has an EV truck coming out soon with a gas engine to charge the battery. I'm no automotive engineer, but I believe its not a bad idea. Because the engine doesn't have to propel the car, I think it can be a simpler, possibly smaller, and more efficient engine, which saves fuel and costs lest to produce. This is in contrast to a plug in hybrid, which requires the engine to be able to propel the car.

    Firstly, I think the styling on the outside and inside looks excellent. These are some of my favorite designs for an upcoming vehicle. I think the EV versions of these will turn out well.
    However, I have my doubts on the plug-in hybrid, or "extended range" versions. They're being strangely quiet on what the EV range will be on the model with the gas engine. Historically, EVs with "range extenders" tend to have much smaller batteries and shorter EV range than full EVs. Packaging both an ICEV powertrain and an EV powertrain into a single vehicle is expensive, and usually the first thing to get the chopping block is the battery. This is why I think you don't see this type of vehicle often, because a lot has to be sacrificed to make it work, which often results in a car that's expensive and poor performing compared to its full EV counterpart. Some of the most notable PHEVs/EREVs are the BMW i3 REx, Chevrolet Volt, Honda Clarity PHEV, and the Fisker Karma. None sold particularly well and all were eventually cancelled. It seems the only successful one (at least in the US) has been the Jeep Wrangler 4xe.
    I'm not against the tech, I just haven't been especially impressed with any so far, but I'll see if that changes with the extended range versions of these vehicles, and to a similar extent, the Ram Ramcharger.
