Idly musing about life at work the other day, electric cars came up,

a diesel generator on it, the electricity going back to the car.
Could we run it on red diesel, and not have to pay the congestion
charge?

It would have to be some generator ...


Isn't that essentially what a self-charging hybrid has, but carried on
board?


I was wondering why the EV charging socket that cost the customer £300
last week is powering a car that can do about a maximum of 20 miles when
using it's batteries before the ICE kicks in.

Make that 12 miles if the AC or heaters are on.
