[185 Pages Report] The Electric Vehicle Range Extender Market size was estimated at USD 24.59 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 27.37 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 11.55% to reach USD 52.86 billion by 2030.
An electric vehicle range extender (EVRE) is essentially a system that improves the overall range of electric vehicles (EVs). The primary function of these systems is to supplement the vehicle’s main electric power source, thereby allowing the vehicle to travel greater distances without needing a recharge. Increasing adoption of electric vehicles worldwide, progressive government policies promoting EVs, advancements in battery technologies, and rising consumer demand for longer driving ranges have accelerated the adoption of EVRE. However, high initial costs associated with range extender components and their complex installation may deter some consumers from adopting them. Ongoing research and development activities focused on enhancing energy density and charging capabilities while reducing costs are expected to provide potential opportunities in this market. Advancements in fuel cell systems could provide efficient and environmentally friendly alternatives to gasoline or diesel range extenders, particularly for heavy-duty applications such as trucks and buses.
Extender Type: Significant penetration of fuel cell range extender
The fuel cell range extender converts hydrogen gas into electricity, offering an emission-free solution to range anxiety. It essentially provides a clean and efficient way to increase the driving range of electric automobiles without resorting to fossil fuels. The internal combustion engine (ICE) range extender utilizes traditional gasoline to generate electricity, replenishing the battery on longer drives. It holds an edge in terms of widespread accessibility to gas stations and comparatively lower initial ownership costs. Fuel Cell Range Extenders are preferred owing to their environmental benefits. ICE Range Extenders cater better to those preferring a safer bet with ample refueling options and lower upfront costs.
Component: Proliferating deployment of electric motors in automobiles
The battery pack is a primary energy source in an electric vehicle and is widely preferred by individuals seeking longer drive time and sustainability.
Battery technology is constantly improving, with current trends showing enhancements in energy density, recharge time, and lifecycle. Electric motor is responsible to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, propelling the vehicle forward. Consumers with a need for higher speed and efficiency often give preference to vehicles with powerful electric motors. The generator serves the crucial role of converting mechanical energy back into electrical energy. Those requiring a reliable energy backup system, especially for long-distance travel, often prefer vehicles featuring an efficient generator. The power converter manages the electricity distribution between the motor and the battery, which is vital in optimizing vehicle performance. Vehicles with advanced converters are often preferred by those seeking enhanced energy utilization.
Vehicle Type: Rising applications of electric vehicle range extenders in commercial vehicles
Commercial vehicles, with multiple long-route services throughout the day, require reliable range extenders to establish an effective EV ecosystem. Passenger vehicles, on the other hand, prioritize a balance between comfort, fuel efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Commercial vehicles continue to focus on durability and sustained performance, and quick charging. Meanwhile, passenger vehicles are more focused on comfort, cost-effectiveness, and mileage efficiency. Innovative introductions in both vehicle types underline the critical need for advanced range extenders as the industry transitions towards electrification.
