What's the battery capacity? 20 kWh? So 4% of capacity after an hour
from a typical small genny? Easier to carry a big diesel battery.


Or, if only they could tow ... you could have a friction driven
generator in a trailer charging the battery as you drive! ;-)


Or a trailed generator big enough to drive the car for ever with a huge
fuel tank behind the generator.


Ah, but the only problem with a trailer behind a trailer (to keep the
axle loads down) is I think you might be restricted to 25 mpg or
somesuch. Not a problem if everyone was doing it though ...
