The Range Extender in the BMW i3 is a small gasoline engine that works as a generator to charge the battery when it gets low. It doesn't power the car directly, but it does give you extra range.

The Range Extender is a great feature to have for longer trips, as it provides peace of mind knowing you won't run out of battery. Just remember to fill up the gas tank every once in a while to keep the Range Extender working!

I've found the Range Extender to be really helpful for my daily commute. I can usually go a week without having to recharge the battery, and if I do need to charge, the Range Extender gives me that extra boost of range.
