So, ah, a lawnmower engine pushing a generator? That better be one BIG piston because the power needed to push a car around will require a pretty damn heavy gen.
Average power use of a car is not that great. A generator that can create a little more than average power use with a supercap or battery for acceleration could make for a very fun car to drive.

Either the author really doesn’t understand IC engines, or he’s a very poor author attempting to describe what makes this idea/concept so different or unique. Wonder if it’s just a very scaled down version of a diesel electric locomotive, but using a gasoline engine.
