As the automotive industry evolves, technologies to reduce emissions and enhance driving convenience are continuously being developed. This article focuses on enhancing the capabilities of electric pickup trucks, such as the Rivian R1T, through range extenders and hydrogen fuel cells. Range extenders can significantly extend driving range but come with environmental concerns. On the other hand, hydrogen fuel cells offer clean energy with water emissions and efficient refueling. However, challenges remain in the widespread adoption of hydrogen due to infrastructure limitations. While battery-electric vehicles face issues like weight, range limitations, and towing capacity, range extenders and hydrogen fuel cells emerge as promising solutions. Range extenders use gasoline efficiently, have high thermal efficiency, and require smaller battery packs. Hydrogen fuel cells, though not yet mainstream, are being adopted by companies like Toyota and Hyundai. Despite the potential of hydrogen technology, range extenders are currently considered a more practical option for electrified pickups due to existing infrastructure and technological advancements.
