Good solution for extending the range of electric vehicles - little backtrailer with generator! Look what backtrailer-generator was made by people from AC Propulsion.

  • I'm more interested in getting my hands on the T-Zero in the vid than I am the generator. However, if the generator can be set up to work with any EV, it would be a good deal.

  • @thoughtchallenge yea but it adds 3 problems 1. extra weight 2. trailers limit your speed and 3. limited manuverability

  • they should incorporate solar panels!!

  • This setup solves two problems.

    First question being, how to add mileage to a pure electric vehicle.

    The second being, how can consumers afford the needed range extender? Answer being a leasable range extender or battery pack.

    I think we will see this type of product in just a few years.

  • i doubt having this generator in tow will preserve your mileage efficiency.

  • only issue i have is that technically your towing something which makes your max speed legally 55...

  • 35 mpg depending on the vehicle.

  • wow great idea

  • Nice idea.  When I get my EV, I'll be in the market for one of these. Looks like a lovely DIY project.

  • Buy a two-wheeled trailer and put a generator in it.
