An electric car towing a gas generator and then using it to recharge the electric car

  1. I guy I worked with at my last job had one of those Nissan Leafs. I don't think the range was very good. He drove about 30 miles to work, then had to plug it into an extension cord all day before driving home. I think he said that if he worked half a day, he wasn't sure he'd have enough charge to get home. Not a very good purchase if you ask me.

  2. I've been joking with my family that I'm waiting for an electric pickup to come out so I can mount a generator in the bed and then have unlimited mileage!
    Someone else had this excellent idea I see. LOL

    1. and if you had a DC generator with a friction wheel being spun by contact with the trailer wheel, or the road going under it, wouldn't that recapture some of the power used to move the car along?
