“…However, they have an additional internal combustion engine that acts as a generator to charge the vehicle's battery, and consequently, allows us to increase the range-this solution allows the car's range to be extended to 500-600 km. It should be added that this type of motor is not attached to the wheels of the vehicle [51][52][53][54]. The biggest advantage of EREV cars is the fact that, despite the presence of a combustion engine, they are almost as ecological and energy-saving as BEVs; hence, they are considered low-emission vehicles.…”

In the past few years, it can be seen that the automotive market has been developing quite rapidly, especially when it comes to electric cars. This is because the development of sustainable cars seems to be an extremely important issue at the moment. Nowadays, cars with different propulsion systems (among others electric, hybrid, gas, or hydrogen) can be met on the roads. But, political action is mainly aimed at electric cars. Such an approach will certainly lead to fundamental changes in production processes in the near future via the emergence and development of new technologies in the field of electric passenger cars. Therefore, the manuscript discusses the concept of vehicles with different types of power supply, with the main emphasis on electric vehicles. The essence of electric vehicles, their genesis, rationale for development, and growth are indicated. The different markets around the world, through the prism of, on the one hand, programs supporting the purchase and use of this type of vehicle and, on the other hand, factors limiting and inhibiting their uptake, are also discussed. The research was conducted in a group of both current and potential drivers from Eastern Poland, with different categories of grouping variables used in the analyses. On the basis of the research carried out and the results obtained, it can be argued that due to various factors, the respondents’ opinions are varied, and there are no unambiguous conclusions stating that such solutions will soon be available. Indeed, a number of doubts and barriers were noted among respondents. Driver preferences are therefore a key issue, but production capacity and the profitability of investments in the purchase of vehicles with an electric power supply should also be taken into account.

Electric vehicles (EV) and hybrid powertrain vehicles are an increasingly common alternative to pure gasoline vehicles. However, most have significantly shorter drivable ranges than combustion engine vehicles, require a long waiting period to recharge, have a low specific power, or are prohibitively expensive and heavy. The goal of this work is to develop and showcase a high-power density generator, which may be used as a component in an EV or hybrid drivetrain. The generator can be used as, for example, a range extender for an EV, or a generator for hybrid powertrains where specific power is important, such as in UAVs, marine applications, motorcycles, and ATVs. Moreover, the generator of this work is constructed from commercially available components configured to be easily transportable and remain substantially lightweight. The device discussed in this work comprises a two-stroke single-cylinder gasoline engine and a compact permanent magnet brushless dynamo, assembled as a generator. The advantages of this combination include compactness, simplicity, lower weight, and high specific power. This paper discusses the design and experimental development of such a portable high-power-density power generator. The performance and emissions characteristics of the generator are investigated at varying loads and engine RPMs. During preliminary experiments, the power generator produced 8.5 kW while having a dry weight of 21 kg. Future design recommendations for the use of alternative or renewable fuels are also explored.
