Automakers are shifting focus toward a new type of electric vehicle designed to bridge the gap between traditional combustion engines and full electric models. The Extended-Range Electric Vehicle, or EREV, combines an electric motor with a smaller gasoline engine to extend driving range without relying solely on battery power. This hybrid approach aims to address concerns about charging infrastructure and upfront costs while still reducing emissions. Industry observers say the technology could appeal to consumers hesitant to fully commit to battery-only electric cars.
