We all know whats going to happen. People are going to rip the engine out and replace it with another electric motor that will turn the generator, and never need gas at all.. I can't wait..
I'm curious. Let's say you were going to take a long trip (eg. 350 miles). Obviously, the gas engine will kick in at some point to provide electricity, but is it capable of fully recharging the battery? IE, would part of the power go to drive the vehicle while the remainder is diverted to fully recharge the battery? Does the gas engine EVER provide enough power to fully recharge the battery or is a full charge entirely dependent on external charging? Thank you!
@TV843 it probably dosen't recharge the battery all that much, just keeps it from going completely flat, but why would you want to recharge your batteries by burning gasoline when you can charge off the grid for much cheaper, kinda defeates the purpose don't you think?
@kimstockton Charging off the grid is how it its designed. However, if you in the middle of the desert on a roadtrip and there is no grid you will keep driving unlike the plug ins that you will find along the road in the same circumstance.
I agree, but the people buying these will not be buying them for the torque of the Big V8 or Diesel. It will be to save that $4.50-$5.00 a gallon for fuel.
