Elements of Raser’s current series plug-in hybrid (extendedrange electric vehicle) drive system. In 2009, FEV showcased a range-extended electric vehicle (ReEV) HUMMER H3 done in cooperation with Raser at the World Congress. In the HUMMER H3, the generator is driven by a GM Ecotec 2.0L Earlier post.).
The extendedrange electric vehicle drive system by Raser Technologies and its development partner FEV is targeted at providing up to 40 miles all-electric range for SUVs and light trucks. At the 2009 SAE World Congress, Raser and FEV showcased a HUMMER H3 converted with the EREV powertrain. Click to enlarge.
A recent preliminary road test of the Raser Hummer H3E, an H3 converted with a range-extended electric powertrain ( earlier post ), demonstrated more than 50 miles of all-electric range. Battery range of this innovative vehicle was more than sufficient to exceed our performance target of 40 miles in all-electric mode.

Based on their best-rated EPA range, we’ve calculated what that 10-80% charge amounts to in miles gained. To make this list even more useful, we’ve taken that 70% figure of EPA range and divided it by the minutes from 10-80%, to get a miles-per-minute speed factor for this typical road-trip stop. mi/min 2024 Tesla Model Y.
The mid-range 2LT and RS models will be released first, followed by the top-performing SS model and lowest-priced 1LT model in 2024. It will be available in rear- and all-wheel-drive, and Kia says its all-wheel drive and rear-wheel-drive Long Range models will have an estimated range of 300 miles.
The current product line of GM includes the Hummer EV, which is now being delivered, and the Cadillac Lyriq, which will be arriving in the coming years. They absorb the excess heat created by the electric vehicle’s battery and powertrain, enhancing the vehicle’s efficiency, range, and driving enjoyment.
However, because of the duty cycle used by the Postal Service, which generally amounts to only about 18-20 miles per day on a fixed route, these vehicles are being built without the rangeextender seen on the concept. The extended-range version will be focused on retail customers. Follow us on Twitter!
Merc wants the electric smart to perform badly, to have a short range and little power, so that it dosent eat up other products in the lineup. It is probably possible to make a 20k electric smart that outperforms most other cars on the road in everything except range and top speed. For this to happen there has to be a detuning process.
