Car theory
#3
Its definitely something I havent spent a lot of time looking into, Personally I think there wont be a time where a full electric vehicle will be the number one choice, I still think hydrogen and hydrogen fuel cell cars are the way forward in the automotive industry.

from what I know most medium sized EV's use around 120v batteries to power the vehicle, so if you were to add a generator for the rear wheels it would no doubt be really expensive ad also really heavy. If you look at the size of a normal alternator in a 12v system its already quite large and when the car is running they produce around 14.2 volts. so you can see where they would struggle to make a generator capable of generating 120v and still keeping it small and cost effective, also the heavier the car the more current it will need to get the car moving. it probably has been done already but no doubt its been really expensive hense why we haven't heard much about it.
