Hyundai, Ford Motor, and Jeep parent Stellantis, are among the first U.S.-market automakers planning to roll out a new kind of plug-in vehicle called an extended-range EV. It is a fully electric car with the security blanket of a gas-powered generator to charge the battery, if needed"ensuring you won't end up stranded as long as a gas station is nearby.
