“About eight million hybrid cars will be made in 2022 - each with a
range extender.”
We are in the decade of the hybrid electric vehicle despite the fact that most
off road and underwater vehicles are pure electric. That includes most
forklifts, golf cars and mobility vehicles for the disabled plus Autonomous
Underwater Vehicles AUVs and personal submarines. Indeed, most electric
aircraft are pure electric as well. The reason is that these are mainly small
as are electric two wheelers which are almost all pure electric as well. Small
vehicles rarely need to travel long distances. In addition, these pure
electric vehicles are often used where a conventional engine is banned as on
lakes and indoors or where it is impracticable as with underwater vehicles. By
contrast, half the electric vehicle market value lies in larger road vehicles,
notably cars, and here the legal restrictions are weaker or non-existent and
range anxiety compels most people to buy hybrids if they go electric at all.
About eight million hybrid cars will be made in 2022, each with a range
extender, the additional power source that distinguishes them from pure
electric cars. Add to that significant money spent on the same devices in
buses, military vehicles, boats and so on and a major new market emerges. This
unique report is about range extenders for all these purposes - their evolving
technology and market size. Whereas today's range extenders usually consist of
little more than off the shelf internal combustion engines, these are rapidly
being replaced by second generation range extenders consisting of piston
engines designed from scratch for fairly constant load in series hybrids.
There are some wild cards like Wankel engines and rotary combustion engines or
free piston engines both with integral electricity generation. However a more
radical departure is the third generation micro turbines and fuel cells that
work at constant load. The report compares all these. It forecasts the lower
power needed over the years given assistance from fast charging and energy
harvesting innovations ahead. Every aspect of the new range extenders is
covered.

This new report profiles all key developers, manufactures and integrators of
range extenders for land, water and airborne electric vehicles. It gives ten
year forecasts of the different types of electric vehicle and of range
extenders by number, unit value and market value. Market drivers and the
changing requirements for power output are analysed. Will shaftless range
extenders with no separate electricity generator take over and when will that
be? What fuels will be used and when? What are the pros and cons of each
option and who are the leaders? It is all here.
