E-REV

Also called extended-range electric vehicle · range-extended EV

An E-REV is an extended-range electric vehicle that is driven electrically while carrying a combustion engine to generate additional electrical energy when required.

The combustion engine acts primarily as a generator rather than the normal mechanical drive source. The term overlaps with REEV and range extender.

UK vehicle classifications treat range-extended electric vehicles as a particular plug-in hybrid arrangement.
