Mazda was rumored to be working on a Volt like EV, but with a Rotary (Wankel) engine as the range extender. Wankels are ideal for this since they are incredibly small and light compared to the power they produce. And a range extender would be their ideal use case. Most issues with their seals happen from too low or too high of RPMs - when running a charger the engine can stay in its ideal RPM zone. EDIT: It is no longer a rumor - thanks to another commenter I lost who linked to this: https://www.thedrive.com/news/40168/2022-mazda-mx-30-ev-the-... While others may be content waiting around for sufficient charging infrastructure or blaming the customer I'm not. If I go EV it will be one with a range extender. Or I'll just keep my gassers until the infrastructure catches up. It took 50 years for the highway network and gas station infrastructure to build out for gas powered cars - we have just begun to start with EVs and range extenders are the perfect transitional key that will generate the need for the charging networks while still providing practical ways for people to as effortlessly get around as they do with their gas car today. You can't make the users experience worse than moan and complain people aren't flocking to your bright, shiny new thing. And that's the big problem with electric only cars right now - there is no good solution for longer trips where you need more energy quickly. I don't care if the majority of peoples trips fit well within an all electric car's operating parameters - the outliers must be addressed too.

I am very petty about this one bug and have a very old axe to grind that this reminded me of!
Not just the edge router.
