Volkswagen has integrated a range extender into its SSP for electric cars. Its introduction in Europe and the US will depend on customer demand.
BERLIN, Dec 11 (Reuters) - The Volkswagen Group said on Thursday that, from a technical standpoint, it has incorporated its range extender concept into its future Scalable Systems Platform (SSP) for electric cars.
"Whether and when this technology will be introduced in Europe and the U.S. depends on customer demand," it added.

A range extender is a device that increases the range of an electric vehicle by providing additional power, typically through a small internal combustion engine that generates electricity.
Customer demand refers to the desire of consumers to purchase goods or services at given prices. It is a key factor in determining the introduction of new technologies and products.
The Scalable Systems Platform (SSP) is a modular architecture developed by Volkswagen for electric vehicles, allowing for flexibility and efficiency in production and technology integration.
