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

It is, but by having a trailer you'd only need to cart the genny around
for long journeys. For town driving, battery power would normally be okay.
