Extended-range EVs rely on electric motors powered by batteries for propulsion, but they also have a gas engine that acts as a generator to recharge the battery. The internal combustion engine is not connected to a transmission or drive system, and EREVs charge just like any other EV. Images: Ford] Become aTTAC insider.
