A great range extender weighing twenty kilos is available right now, a diesel generator.
It can also double as a air/water heater, emergency power for household or medical appliances, and emits about as much carbon in 30 years as it takes to manufacture a battery pack.
- hinkley 1y agoHonestly surprised Honda hasn’t designed a hybrid that’s more generator and less hybrid but I suspect that has to do with air and noise pollution loopholes for generators versus engines.
- rsynnott 1y agoNah, the BMW i3 had one of these as an option, as does some Chinese car, with no regulatory difficulties. Also a common arrangement for ‘hybrid’ buses and trains.
- smileysteve 1y agoThe i3 certainly had some us regulatory difficulties, they had to change the battery and fuel tank sizes.
