Range Extender

[dg!]

It would be nice to have a range extender/generator that fit the frunk. Could be used for camping too. Maybe propane?

Yes totally agree I'd love to see a gas based range extender option offered.

Look at how popular the Scout Harvester (range extender model) has been over the regular full EV -- reservations are currently more than 80%+ for the range extender model than full EV.

I have one of those reservations.

Will be really cool if like option someone build an ER system..! Like an generator with a small tank to recharge the batteries in remote places.
That’s the amazing thing with this concept..!!!
Will be a huge success with customization and options.!!! The imagination is the limit..!!

If you want an EREV, look at the Scout.

If you want just a simple small truck for local commutes then the Slate will do the job.

I have the Ford Mach E and its 70kWh battery is more than enough for daily commuting plus road trips.

I have a reservation on the Scout as well to transition from the Mach E; but now I am looking at the SUV version of the Slate for a lot less $$$.

The next gen Rouge is supposed to be an erev. Made n USA too

The bed is twenty square feet. How about a solar bed cover (tonneau) for boosting the battery when the truck is parked in the sun.

I live in a place called "The Valley of the Sun", so there's that to consider.

ZF just announced a generic Range Extender (eRE) and the electric Range Extender plus (eRE+) . Maybe they could create an option for Slate

I plan on building a generic range extender to sit in the back. I've got an odd commute that usually involved around about 165 miles each way, but the car typically sits for 3-4 days before I come home. I plan on using some typical home storage LFP batteries, a small inverter and a small charger, to allow the thing to charge while it sits in the parking lot. And I can charge my portable charger up for free at home on my solar.

The problem is they are not that good, if you did a small one like a bmw style i3 rEX you would only be getting like 15 miles per gallon. You would need a full size drive system to be efficient.
