EV Super Duty with Coyote range extender under considerationMaybe.
If Its cheaper to charge a battery with a plug than with the onboard generator, why have an oversized onboard generator just to charge the battery?
The challenge with a large ICE powerpack is packaging, they take up more space than increasing the size of the battery. Its also alot of dead weight to carry around. A compact Range extender powerpack, would be preferable, because for the majority of the use cases the battery should meet most consumer needs.
In my scenario the ICE engine would feed enough power to e-motor to maintain vehicle speed under moderate load conditions (level ground, steady speeds), without depleting the battery. When load increases (climbing hills, merging, passing) the battery supplies the required power. The battery would be recharged during braking, recovering the energy used while under load. This way ICE engine extends range not by charging the battery but by not depleting the battery.Sat, 21 Sep 2024 04:19:21 +0000
