The authors propose a change in the structure of the power plant of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) including a range extender system based in a Fuel Cell. The objective is that these vehicles can be presently used until the deployment of a full electric and/or hydrogen recharge network is fulfilled.
A range extender is an auxiliary power unit (APU) that provides the vehicle with additional energy to complement the primary battery in propelling the vehicle . According to the 2012 Amendments to the Zero Emission Vehicle Regulations, a range-extended battery EV should comply, among others, with the following criteria :
Range-extended EVs (REEVs) are seen as a potential solution to the limited range and high cost of EVs. A range extender is an auxiliary power unit (APU) that provides the vehicle with additional energy to complement the primary battery in propelling the vehicle .
A range extender can also reduce the consumption of the range-extending fuel (such as gasoline) by using the primary fuel (such as battery power), while still maintaining the driving range of a single-fuel vehicle powered by a fuel such as gasoline.
For this reason, the concept of Range Extender (RE) is created. It is essentially an auxiliary power unit (APU) that can be installed within a BEV. The APU has no direct role in propulsion of the vehicle, and its sole purpose is to charge the battery. As a result, the APU can be operated at maximum efficiency and only when necessary.
In recent years, the concept of a zinc-air (Zn-air) battery as a range extender for EVs has also been investigated. Andwari et al. analyzed the barriers for market penetration of EVs and the technological readiness of different components of battery electric vehicles (BEVs).
