Rotary sets up well for use in EREV applications because they package better than traditional ICE and operating as a generator pretty much masks the problems that killed it first time around (high fuel and oil consumption). Operating as a generator allows for having it run in a very narrow sweet spot instead of the whole rpm range.

They have an ICE, but the ICE is typically only used as a generator to replenish the battery. Since these vehicles plug in, they can go for months without the ICE ever turning on. The biggest differences between PHEVs and EREVs is that for PHEVs the top EV speed is typically electronically limited at anywhere from 35 mph to in some cases 70 - 80 mph. Above the EV speed limit, the ICE engages and splits duty with the electric motors just like a Full Hybrid. An EREV can drive its entire speed range on electric only. Batteries are typically 15-20 kWh. Costs automakers $15-30,000 depending on number of motors and battery size.[/LIST]
