Electric Vehicle Range Extender Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2023-2028

Market Overview:

The global electric vehicle (ev) range extender market size reached US$ 1.4 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 2.5 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2% during 2023-2028.

Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) generally have low range characteristics, which hinder their market penetration worldwide. As a result, there is a rise in the need for electric vehicle range extenders that can generate additional power to charge the battery. These extenders are auxiliary power units (AUP) consisting of an onboard fuel converter that produces electrical energy from a liquid fuel like gasoline. They also allow original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to lower the capital costs of BEVs by downsizing the battery. Some of the commonly available electric vehicle range extenders are internal combustion engines (ICEs), fuel cells, and other engine types.

Electric Vehicle Range Extender Market Trends:
Shifting consumer inclination toward hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) on account of rapid urbanization, improving income levels, and the limited average range of electric vehicles (EVs) represent one of the key factors bolstering the market growth. Apart from this, as electric vehicle range extenders can be powered using environmental-friendly fuels, such as biodiesel or solar power, which eliminate the consumption of fossil fuels, the growing environmental awareness among the masses is contributing to the market growth. Besides this, key market players are focusing on introducing clean electric vehicle range extenders that offer electric propulsion with zero local carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. These new ranger extenders include micro gas turbines and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), which are compact and cost-effective, provide high power density, and can be paired with an EV platform. This, in confluence with the rising demand for a considerable alternative to conventional vehicles as they significantly contribute to noise and atmospheric pollution, is anticipated to provide a positive outlook to the market.
