It reminds me of a certain green state that when there population runs low on 240 power ,they rely on other states coal fired power to put the lights on...

The BMW i3 pure electric actually has an option of a 650cc motorbike engine coupled to a generator that is called "The Range Extender Option".

Then there is this!biggrin

electric vehicle generator trailer

The EP Tender is an interesting solution to this problem, albeit not a permanent one. Its essentially a little trailer that you tow behind your EV. If your battery starts running low, the EP Tender kicks into action, turning on the generator inside the trailer. It feeds electricity into the car to keep it going further than would be possible with just the cars battery.
