Nissan Leaf cutaway showing part of the battery in 2009. An electric vehicle battery is a rechargeable battery used to power the electric motors of a battery electric vehicle (BEV) or hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). They are typically lithium-ion batteries that are designed for high power-to-weight ratio and energy density.
A prototype AC Propulsion tzero electric car with an external range-extender or genset trailer, 1999. A range extender is a fuel-based auxiliary power unit (APU) that extends the range of a battery electric vehicle by driving an electric generator that charges the vehicle's battery.

Octillion Power Systems [26] [27] [28] 2009 Lithium-ion: Wuling; FNM; Lithium-ion battery supplier for the electric-vehicle battery market.
Ultium is characterized by a modular layout, using an Ultium battery to supply power to one or two Ultium Drive unit(s) using a common set of power electronics (charging, battery management system, and inverter). The high-voltage battery is composed of pouch cells that can be stacked horizontally or vertically, depending on the form factor ...
An engine–generator is the combination of an electrical generator and an engine (prime mover) mounted together to form a single piece of equipment. This combination is also called an engine–generator set or a gen-set. In many contexts, the engine is taken for granted and the combined unit is simply called a generator. An engine–generator ...
This cell type is used in many laptop computer batteries, cordless power tools, many electric cars, electric scooters, [210] most e-bikes, older portable powerbanks, electronic cigarettes, [211] [212] portable fans and LED flashlights. Nominal voltage is 3.6-3.7 V. [186] 20700 [213] 2,800–4,100 [214] 20: 70
These are motor/generators rather than motor–generators, single units which can act as either a motor or a generator. They make the cars more fuel-efficient by harvesting energy from regenerative braking and from the turbocharger, and can also be used to provide up to 160 BHP extra to the wheels to aid acceleration and overtaking, or to spin ...
A Nio battery swap station at a carpark in Beijing. Battery swapping or battery switching is an electric vehicle technology that allows battery electric vehicles to quickly exchange a discharged battery pack for a fully charged one, rather than to recharge the vehicle via a charging station. Battery swapping is common in electric forklift ...
