Chinese Companies Extend Electric Vehicle Range With Petrol Generators

Chinese companies such as BYD made their name producing some of the world's best electric vehicles ahead of the curve but they have turned to an old-school solution to extend the range of some of their newest models - the petrol generator.
At the huge industry show Auto Shanghai this week, BYD's luxury Yangwang U8 SUV and other electric models such as Chery's Exeed ET promised an unusually long range of more than 1 000 kilometres.
