Mazda pulled the plug on the MX-30 BEV in the US, but perhaps this rotary-engined range extender version may have made more sense for plug-in hybrid buyers.
True extended-range electric vehicles with combustion engines that never directly power the wheels are rare. Before you scroll past this entire article straight to the comments section, no, the Chevrolet Volt isn’t one because its engine is occasionally hooked up to drive the wheels. The recently unveiled 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger is an EREV, though, and its V6 engine and smaller battery make it interesting to a much broader audience than the pure-electric Ram 1500 REV.
The Range Extender Makes The MX-30 Better, But Also Worse Even though Mazda’s European blurbs brand the MX-30 R-EV as a plug-in hybrid, I suspect that’s simply because the average buyer wouldn’t know what an extended-range EV is, and PHEVs are more common and better understood. On the move, it feels like an EV, not a PHEV, and the driving experience is almost identical to that of the BEV variant.
