Well, he could pop the generator in the trunk and drive around...

Or maybe, they could build a vehicle with an gas engine in it already...

That’s a novel idea. Someone should try that. I bet there is a big and long term market.

Or put it on a trailer. I had a Rav4 Hybrid Prime, which was a hybrid that could be charged and driven about 40 miles without using gasoline. Charging off a 120 VAC 15 amp circuit it would require about 10 hours to recharge from a 30 mile drive. If you put that generator on a trailer, it could probably recharge a Tesla at a rate that would support about 5 miles an hour, on average. Charge for ten hours, drive at 55 for one hour, rinse and repeat. Being a Hybrid, meant it could run all day on mogas and had about 500 mile range.
