My curiosity got the best of me, so I looked up what the engineering details of the Leapmotor extended range EV (EREV) drivetrain are specifically. The range extender is a 1,500cc four cylinder, gas fueled engine. It is purchased from an outside supplier, which also provides the same unit to other Chinese BEV companies. This reminded me of Continental doing the same thing in the early days of the American auto industry. The ICE is not connected to the drive wheels, it only powers the generator. The Chevy Volt would connect directly to provide power to the drive train under certain conditions.
If I ran Stellantis, I would be figuring out using the Leapmotor drive units with some of the STLA platforms, to be installed in vehicles built in North America. Domestically built batteries, IC range extender, and above all American styling inside and out should be used.
The lineup of models being proposed by Leapmotor is impressive. Should the Chrysler 200 be given another chance? I don't think most people give a thought about where electric motors are sourced from. The same choice of BEV and EREV powertrains should be offered here. I suspect some people are going to be forced into EVs. Leapmotor is also previewing a C16 3 row SUV concept. It looks to be production ready. It seems to be a D-segment sized vehicle, and could fill a gap in the Chrysler brand lineup as well as the sedan.
