The free piston linear generator is a new range-extender technology. It converts chemical energy into electrical energy by means of a combustion process and linear generator. Thereby the technology ...

This paper proposes a concept of free piston linear generator (FPLG) range-extender for the application of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). The coupling thermodynamics model of the FPLG range-extender ...

The Range Extender was delayed again in late 2024, but this time, it would only enable the truck to hit 445 miles of range. No change in the price, though. Either way, Tesla told the public to ...

Tesla now says that the Cybertruck’s range extender is coming next year, asks for a $500 deposit to reserve it, and confirms that it will cost around $16,000. When Tesla unveiled the production ...

Initially advertised with up to 500 miles of range, the production Cybertruck arrived with significantly less. Tesla's solution was the range extender, which sits in the truck bed and costs $16,000.

This leads us to speculate the range-extender may not be ready for prime time at the precise moment when the all-electric Ram 1500 Revolution is shown in production form later this year.

Earlier this year, the Korean Car Blog published a report stating that Genesis was going to start building a range-extender GV70 in late 2026 and begin selling it in the U.S. in 2027.
