The Capital Smart Motors in Pakistan has announced the first-ever range extended electric vehicle in the country. This electric vehicle promises 1150 km of uninterrupted range without charging. Sounds interesting, right? The Forthing Friday Reev, a product by Dongfeng Motor Group, is soon making its way in Pakistan. Explore what it has to offer us in this blog.
Forthing Friday Reev Performance
Reev is a type of electric vehicle, which refers to the range-extended electric vehicle. The Reevs are based on the battery electric vehicle (BEV) with an extended range, which is possible due to a combustion engine embedded in it. However, the combustion engine acts as a generator for charging the battery and is not directly involved in running the vehicle.
