Would you like an EV that travels as far as (or even further than) a car with an internal combustion engine – on a single charge?
Easy – install the RangeXTNDr.
How does it work?
There are two factors that determine the range of your EV – your battery’s stored energy capacity, and how much of that stored energy is absorbed by the motor to propel the car.
Have you noticed how much additional range you can enable by selecting Eco mode?
RangeXTNDr is a small device that connects to the OBD2 socket on your car and turbo-charges the Eco range.
Switch to Eco mode to dramatically extend your EV range, switch back to Normal or Sports mode for regular range and performance.
RangeXTNDr governs the motor’s thirst for electricity. You will get a slightly reduced performance (acceleration) but a huge extension in the range that you can travel on a single charge of your battery.
How do you control RangeXTNDr
RangeXTNDr is controlled through an app on your phone (currently only compatible with iPhone).
Activate RangeXTNDr to govern the motor’s power response and related battery consumption in Eco mode only.
A 72 kWh battery, in Normal mode, supplying a motor absorbing 18kW each hour (for a car travelling at 100 km/h) will give you a range of around 450 km (give or take with other factors considered).
The current development prototype of RangeXTNDr has three Eco modes – Eco Plus (12 kWh), Eco Extra (10 kWh) and Eco Extreme (8 kWh). These setting are controlled through the XTNDr app.
Our latest testing has provided the following results….
- Eco Plus – A 72 kWh battery, supplying a motor absorbing 12 kWh of energy (for a car travelling at 100 km/h) will give you a realistic range (90% charge) of around 610 km
- Eco Extra – A 72 kWh battery, supplying a motor absorbing 10 kWh of energy (for a car travelling at 100 km/h) will give you a realistic range (90% charge) of around 720 km
- Eco Extreme – At the extreme end of the current possibilities, a 72 kWh battery, supplying a motor absorbing only 8 kWh of energy (for a car travelling at 100 km/h) will give you a realistic range (90% charge) of around 820 km
