It's a series hybrid gas-electric vehicle that can be plugged in. That term already exists and works well to describe it. This is a ‘Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle”.

Other than that, let them all use their own trademarked name so they can claim no one else can offer what they offer. Just like Techroline in gasoline.

So it is only logical to call the car "Electric vehicle, extended range". Through usage the cars would be shortened to the EVER cars. Norm you give us the choice of letters that spell “ever”.

EV-1 says "first car," but EV-2 wouldn't be evolutionary. EVE or EV-E sounds like it came from the movie WALL-E, but hints at: Electric Vehicle - extended, evolutionary, enhanced, endless, eternal, environmental, extra, engine, eager, easy, economical, ecological, efficient, effortless, and elegant.
