Electric cars can't be driven whilst the charge lead is plugged in

The range extender on a BMW is a separate generator and engine that does
charge the battery while you are driving.


Its mounted under the bonnet somewhere.

Its not a hybrid you can't power the car from the generator.

it's still a "cheat" that likely to see it designated as "not an electric
vehicle" by those people offering discounts for such
