Sure. Run a genset off the fuel and drive a motor with that. Works fine. Not very sensible in terms of drivetrain mass or efficiency.

- dr_dshiv 3y agoYou wouldn’t get any of the benefits of hybrid electric cars, you are saying.
- JonChesterfield 3y agoI believe genset+motor is the implementation of some hybrid cars, possibly calling it a range extender. Some others have a combustion engine and motors attached to the same gearbox (iirc that's the Prius setup). However I'm not very clear on what non-marketing advantages there are supposed to be to having both petrol and lithium fuels on board.
