what I’m really surprised and I’m dead serious why they don’t have an extended range option of a towable gas driven generator that can be used while driving effectively making it a hybrid for long distance runs

That was the original intent behind the Chevy Volt, an electric car with a small gasoline engine for range extension. I believe the reality fell well short of that, but the Volt does have the best all-electric range of any plug-in hybrid, something around 35 miles. If you have a very short daily commute a tank of gas could last for quite a while.

well the other thing is I wouldn’t be surprised at some point considering the government pushing these things

..is some kind of induction coil power/charging system built into the city streets so they’re effectively unlimited in town ... for a place like Manhattan that it’s all in town.....

you could make it a smart system .. segmented areas where the car communicates with each segment buried in the road power system so it only has access to it if it had passed code so you can charge a fee

so you’re only running on battery power off grid .....think of downtown as a giant slot car track
