Realistic Assessment: Horse Powertrain's C15 Engine and the Future of EV

22 Sep 2025 | Abstracted from EVWorld.com

Horse Powertrain's C15 is a compact, Euro 7-compliant gasoline generator designed for extended-range EVs. It activates only when battery charge drops, offering 70 kW for sedans and 120 kW for larger vehicles. While efficient, it still emits 120–140 g CO₂/km when active. Backed by Renault, Geely, and Aramco, Horse can mass-produce it—but OEM adoption is key. EREVs face pressure from falling battery costs and rising BEV capabilities.
