Extended Range Electric Vehicles (EREVA) or Extended Range Electric Vehicles (Reeves) as the Chevrolet Volt, which can come and go, but they are the vehicles in the running efficiency of response?

The challenge: finding a vehicle using alternative fuels that profitably and efficiently.
The contenders: the all-electric vehicle (EV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV).
The problem: traditional SLE are limited, typically 100 miles or less, require extensive road and city infrastructure to support longer distance journeys.
The solution: Integrate an alternative energy source to complement and extend the scope of the EV.
The warning: The need for additional infrastructure for the source of the additional fuel.

Of course, the infrastructure for gasoline as a fuel source is already established, if this is the logical choice. However, while management can reduce the gasoline-hybrid battery consumption, it is not to eliminate the use of harmful substances in petroleum-based. You’ll notice that I did not even mention conventional hybrids, because as I mentioned in other articles, they are no vehicles with alternative fuels. They run only on gasoline. You can not supplemented by other forms of energy. Use them just the electric propulsion system to reduce fuel consumption (which incidentally takes account of the fact that electric motors are very efficient). Thus, the growing popularity of enthusiasts that their conversion to Prius hybrid batteries. Therefore, the PHEV looks like a good interim solution to weaning us from oil companies. But this has its price. While the consumer has not been released, most experts expect the plug-in hybrids cost between $ 30,000 and $ 40,000. You can use a plug-in kit for your Prius HyMotion now about 10,000 U.S. dollars.
