You might have heard of \u2018Range Extender\u2019 hybrids and wondered why they\u2019re still not prevalent in Europe. In theory, they propose a near-compromise-free combination of EV-like electric range with a small ICE engine that can keep the batteries topped up \u2013 but, as MG\u2019s boss of R&D has just explained, there\u2019s a problem. <\/p>\n
Qiu Jie told Auto Express: \u201cIt\u2019s very difficult to make range extenders Euro 7 compliant. A range extender won\u2019t pass Euro 7 [emissions regulations], but a PHEV will.\u201d If this initially seems confusing, it has to do with how range-extenders work \u2013 and a quirk of the Euro 7 testing procedure that uncovers a gap in this type of powertrain\u2019s eco-credientials. <\/p>\n
