Abstract

The environment of this society is getting worse and technology is thriving. Electric vehicles (EVs) are being invented to solve the emission and energy problems. However, due to the inadequate ability of the battery, EVs cannot travel longdistance and the charging process is taking hours to be done, people are still preferring traditional vehicles. Results indicate that Range Extenders (REs) will significantly increase the mileage of EVs and maintain a relatively low amount of pollution. In this article, internal combustion engines (ICEs), free-piston linear generators (FPLGs), and fuel cells (FCs) are compared through different experiments like controlled variables, researches, and computer simulations as REs from scholars around the world. The results show that ICEs have relatively low efficiency and high emission, FPLGs have high efficiency but with detent force, FCs are environmentally friendly but they are dangerous and cost a lot. Advantages and disadvantages are coexisting under current conditions, but the future of the Range Extender Electric Vehicle (REEV) is still bright and foreseeable.
