Extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs) are gaining momentum, especially in the US, with customers turning away from fully electric vehicles in favor of hybrids. But not everyone is convinced there's a need for another type of powertrain.
Mercedes-Benz doesn't see much demand for EREVs among its customers, arguing that its plug-in hybrids already offer enough electric range for daily driving without giving up the convenience of a gasoline engine.
