it house reported on september 29 that according to 36 krypton, during the 2024 world new energy vehicle conference, the head of changan automobile advanced battery research institute said that extended-range vehicles will continue to develop in parallel in the next five to ten years.at present, extended-range models are mainly in the market above 150,000 yuan, but there is still an opportunity to further explore the price of extended-range models, and in the future, they can meet the price of models around 100,000 yuan.

as the world's major automakers work to convince mainstream car consumers to switch to electric vehicles, extended-range vehicles are a good option.because extended-range vehicles solve the two major problems of pure electric vehicles: price and range anxiety. extended-range vehicles can be plugged in and charged like pure electric vehicles, or they can be refueled to power a small gasoline engine, thereby charging the battery while the vehicle is driving, greatly extending the range. rather than powering a conventional or hybrid car, a range-extender's gasoline engine only functions as a built-in generator. this means that the battery of a range-extended vehicle only needs half the size of a pure electric vehicle battery, making the vehicle more affordable than a pure electric vehicle. and because the engine automatically charges the battery, there’s no need to stop during long journeys.

according to bloomberg,extended-range electric vehicles have become the fastest growing vehicle segment in china. it house notes that according to statistics from bloomberg new energy finance (bnef), sales of extended-range vehicles have doubled in china over the past year.
