Currently, the most publicized extended-range all-electric vehicle is the Chevy Volt. Everyone is making it out the be the most revolutionary car the world has ever seen. However, Mitsubishi may be looking to give GM a run for their money as they too are reportedly working on an extended-range all-electric vehicle.
Apparantly, Mitsubishi’s extended-range EV will be based on the cX concept that was showcased back in 2007 at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
If you don’t know what an extended-range EV is, it’s essentially just an all-electric vehicle that uses gasoline to replenish the car’s battery once it runs out of juice. So yes, you’re still using gasoline but it’s not used to actually power the car directly, instead it powers the battery that then powers the car.
