I didn't say that, idiot, I said that they kick in to boost acceleration so that the ICE portion only deals with constant speeds which does extend the range of the EV! That is the whole point. An ICE engine can be made to be within its ideal torque operating range (RPM) all of the time regardless of speed; that is the point to the gearbox and transmission. Not so with an EV.GAS ENGINES ARE NOT RANGE EXTENDERS IN THE NORMAL HYBRID.
Really? I have a Masters in the field and worked in electric and electronics and communications for a good portion of my life. In fact, I'm sure you've likely benefited directly from some of the things I helped pioneer.You’re illiterate in physics.
I just choose not to own hybrids and EVs.You obviously know NOTHING about physics.
Whatever, it is still all the same thing, same isea. Basically, a hybrid is an eggbeater with a battery assist to give it some oomph.You are totally incorrect about hybrids. The electric motors provide power where gas engines are LEAST efficient….they don’t replace them bozo. They provide torque for acceleration and hills and become generators going done hill to replenish the battery….in steady rate highway travel at higher speeds, where gas engines are most efficient, they provide the majority of the power…..They aren’t RANGE EXTENDERS, unless it’s a plug in hybrid…
