Driver: Relief from range anxiety
Range extenders provide a backup power source, offering a longer driving range with limited charging infrastructure around the world. The driving range of all new REEV variants currently operating in the market is approximately twice the range of BEV variants.
Restraint: Technological complexity
REEVs face design challenges related to system complexity. Integrating electric, generator, and motor components requires advanced engineering solutions. These additional mechanical components lead to increased maintenance requirements.
Opportunity: Bridge ICE to BEV adoption in low-infrastructure markets
REEVs have opportunities in regions where fast-charging stations are unpopular or not cost-effective.
Challenge: Meeting emissions standards
Range extenders face challenges related to environmental perceptions, especially when these vehicles use internal combustion engines, which can compromise the zero-emission objectives.
MARKET ECOSYSTEM
The REEV market ecosystem consists of OEMs such as Renault (France), Geely (China), AITO (China), Li Auto (China), Leapmotor (China), and BYD (China), and suppliers such as Mahle (Germany), Magna (Austria), Horse Powertrain (UK), and ZF (Germany). Consumers drive demand for specific models, while manufacturers deliver precision-engineered parts. Collaboration across the entire value chain is crucial for innovation and market growth.

Methodology
The study involved four main tasks to assess the current and future scope of the range extended electric vehicle (REEV) market. First, extensive secondary research was conducted to gather data on the market, related sectors, and broader industries. Next, primary research with industry experts across the value chain confirmed and validated these findings and assumptions. The total market size was estimated using a bottom-up approach. Then, a market breakdown and data triangulation method were applied to determine the size of specific segments and subsegments within the market.
Secondary Research
The secondary sources included the company's annual reports and presentations, industry association publications, directories, technical handbooks, World Economic Outlook, technical articles, and databases, which were used to gather information for an in-depth study of the OEMs market for hybrid products. The sources used for market sizing estimation also included the automotive sales database, corporate filings (such as annual reports, investor presentations, and financial statements), and passenger vehicle associations. Secondary data was collected and analyzed to determine the overall market size, which was further validated through primary research. Primary sources—experts from related industries, OEMs, and component suppliers—were interviewed to obtain and verify key information and to assess prospects and market estimates. Historical sales data was collected and analyzed, with industry trends considered to develop the forecast, which was also validated through primary research.

Range Extended Electric Vehicle Market : Top-Down and Bottom-Up Approach

Market Definition
Range-extended EVs utilize fuel to power a generator and a motor that recharge the vehicle’s battery, thereby extending the vehicle’s driving range. This arrangement is also commonly known as a series hybrid drivetrain. The battery size in these vehicles is smaller compared to that of fully electric cars.
These EVs can be deployed using different technologies, including internal combustion engine extenders, turbine-based extenders, and fuel-cell extenders. However, the internal combustion engine extender is the most commonly used type of extender.
