What is the function of the range extender in a BMW i3?

I just bought a BMW i3 and I noticed it has a range extender, but I'm not sure what it does. Can someone explain its function and whether I should use it?

The range extender in a BMW i3 is a small gasoline engine that acts as a generator to charge the battery. It gives you an extra boost of power when needed, but it is not necessary for everyday use.

I recommend using the range extender sparingly, as it uses gasoline and is not as efficient as the electric motor. Only use it when you need to extend your driving range or for longer trips.

The range extender also helps with regenerative braking, as it charges the battery while decelerating. This can help increase your overall range and improve your driving experience.
