I wonder how far a quiet li'l Honda EU generator would take an EV.
The
Hondas run 8+ hours per tank of gas. Pop that puppy in the trunk,
route the exhaust out the bottom/back, and drive nonstop to Vegas
from
anywhere! (Well, not from Australia.)

To put this in numerical perspective, a 3KW generator needs a 5HP
engine. Ever drive a 40HP Volkswagen on long trips?

I had a 1978 Accord with 68 HP (51KW)

It really would give the mileage shown on the graph. I averaged 36 to
38 locally and up to 44 on a trip from NH to Georgia. I was satisfied
with its horsepower but it wouldn't sell now.
