Hi All-
I have absolutely no EV or Hybrid background and have a question about how EREVs work on extended journeys. I understand that as the charge is depleted the generator kicks on, recharging the batteries. In the case of the Scout it sounds like if you start with a full charge and a full gas tank you would get 500 miles of range.
But let's say you fully deplete the fuel tank on the generator as well as the charge down to basically zero and then stop at a gas station. Are EREV vehicles capable of giving you the full published range with only a tank of gas for the generator AND a depleted battery, or is the full range predicated on starting with a full charge AND a full tank of gas.
Obviously we don't know how the Harvester system itself works, but if anybody with a currrent EREV could chime in how their vehicle works I'd love to hear about it, specifially what the range difference is when you're only able to refill the fuel tank and not the battery as well.
