Then you have something like the Nissan E-power range which also uses a generator attached to the engine. However, they have a very small hybrid type battery without the ability to plug in.
- robertlagrant 3y agoThat is another type of car, yes. Do you understand the point of "range extended" now, though? Plug in and range extended aren't to do with how far they go on electric. They're to do with how the car works.
- VBprogrammer 3y agoYour "now" implies that I didn't know before. That isn't the case. A plug-in hybrid would hardy fit the definition if it had a 1kwh battery more typical of a conventional hybrid but with the technical ability to plug it in. No more so than the ability to run an old fashioned manual petrol on the starter motor for a few meters made those hybrids. Usain Bolt and a marathon runner both use their legs to move but they are hardly equivalent.
