Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

Isn't that just a plug in hybrid?
The key point of EREV is that it runs like an EV, entirely off the battery, until the battery runs out, then it uses the gasoline generator to keep the battery charged at some minimal level.
However, there were several plug-in hybrids that couldn't really function as pure EVs, or had abysmal range. IIRC: Ford Fusion Energi with ~13 mi of range, or 2013 PHEV Prius, several luxury SUVs and sports cars (BMW i9?)
