This is essentially what the Chevy Volt was. It ran as an EV until the battery ran out and then the engine kicked on to keep the battery charged.

  But presumably what parent was implying is that you could get a pure EV (I'm assuming here it needs to be an EV, not a plug-in hybrid or a hybrid to get the subsidy) and add a generator to it.
