Vehicles with Range Extenderi.e. those that combine an electric motor with a combustion engine with generator function, will they have a future? According to some producers, yes and among them there is XpengThat announced that it is working on an innovative system EREV (Extended Range Electric Vehicle) dal nome Xpeng Kunpeng Super Electric System.
The company’s CEO, He Xiaopeng, said during the Xpeng AI day that the company’s goal is to further reduce refueling times by increasing the km that can be traveled without ever stopping.
Record autonomy to reduce times
The numerical result that the company would like to obtain from this ambitious project, as can be read on carnewschina.com, would be to have a 100% electric range of 430 km and a combined autonomy of approx 1400 kmwith the system which could be particularly useful in all those countries around the world that do not yet have a reliable national electricity grid.
Xpeng would also aim to produce a system that can be optimized for road conditions and whose noise level only increases by 1 decibel when the engine starts working as a generator.

A future also with petrol?
The announcement of Xpeng’s intention to produce this system is a lot important because, beyond the House not yet well known in the Old Continent, it reopens to possible scenarios regarding a future reuse of the fuels fossilswhich therefore, speaking specifically of China, could still find application for many years to come.
In fact, if until now Chinese producers had been pioneers ofelectrificationthis news could lead many oriental car manufacturers to review their zero emissions strategy, also considering that it is one of the most influential companies in the entire sector. To find out more, all you have to do is wait.
