2 days agoBMW Pioneered Range Extended EVs. Now It's Not So Sure
BMW is open to building range extenders again, but sees limited need due to improved EV technology and charging infrastructure.
Scout Motors CEO Scott Keogh surprised me when he announced that over 80% of Scout pre-orders are for the "Harvester" models, which have gasoline-powered range extenders. It was our first sign that demand for extended-range electric vehicles, or EREVs, is real. To meet it, the company will likely launch the EREV version of the Terra and Traveler first, Keogh said Tuesday. But the purely electric version isn't going anywhere.
