I want a range extended EV with a easily removable power pack. Unfortunately the EPA doesn't consider it an EV so no one will make one because there's no tax credit.
- 0cf8612b2e1e 1y agoMy dream is a little trailer gas generator. Give you infinite range for longer trips. Day to day, just leave it disconnected.
- seanmcdirmid 1y agoIsn’t that the BMW i3 range extender?
- 0cf8612b2e1e 1y agoThat does not seem bad! I was imagining something more generic, literally a mini trailer with a generator bolted on top, but this is sleek.
- throwaway48476 1y agoThe motorcycle engine doesn't produce enough power so it can only do 40mph when the battery is dead.
- 0cf8612b2e1e 1y agoThat is less than ideal. Definitely does not fit my detachable range extender vision.
- throwaway48476 1y agoIn the US the BMW i3 range extender gas tank is software limited so the gas range is shorter than the ev range. That's the only way they could get it to qualify as an ev.
