Range-Extender is an additional energy storage component installed on pure electric vehicles in order to increase the mileage of pure electric vehicles. Usually users can choose to install or not install it according to the mileage requirements. The power of the range extender must be at least 1000W greater than the power of the electric vehicle motor. Only in this way can the electric vehicle be driven.
Installing a range extender on an electric vehicle can avoid the embarrassing situation of the battery running out of power halfway. As long as there is fuel to supply driving, there is no limit to the mileage, which can effectively improve the endurance of electric vehicles. The range extender intelligently detects the battery power. It will automatically start generating electricity when the battery is 30%-40% full, and will automatically stop generating electricity when the battery is full, thus avoiding battery loss caused by excessive charging and discharging.
First, let’s understand what a range extender is. In fact, the range extender is a generator. When the electric vehicle starts, the current is too large, and the battery will assist in discharging. When the vehicle speed is increased and the vehicle is in the endurance state, the actual power will be much smaller. The range extender can fully meet the needs. 6KW and 10KW electric vehicle range extenders can avoid the embarrassing incident of the battery running out of power halfway. As long as there is fuel to supply driving, there is no limit to the mileage, which can effectively improve the endurance of electric vehicles.
The range extender intelligently detects the battery power. It will automatically start generating electricity when the battery is 30%-40% full, and will automatically stop generating electricity when the battery is full, thus avoiding battery loss caused by excessive charging and discharging. However, it has its advantages and disadvantages. The range extender will produce a certain amount of noise when it is working, about 60dB. Range extenders require oil changes and maintenance. The range extender only generates electricity to charge the battery when the electric vehicle is driving. The range extender does not generate electricity to charge the battery when the electric vehicle is parked. This means that the range extender only generates electricity when there is a load
Some people think that installing a range extender is expensive and requires installation because charging is too time-consuming. Sometimes it is a waste of energy and time to find a charging post. On average, you have to drive five to ten kilometers to find a charging post, sometimes more than 20 kilometers. You may waste half an hour or an hour on the way to find a charging post. You may encounter a more tragic situation,and it takes half an hour to find a charging pile, and it will take more than an hour if there is a traffic jam on the road... The range extender is not for daily use, but for use when running long distances.
