Hello, please change the title to "hmmm". Thank you.

E: Oh, it's gen ai. Fuck...

This is basically what every EREV is. The generator is just integrated into the car, otherwise it's essentially the same thing.

I’m not sure about this, surely an EV wouldn’t allow charging while in motion as a safety measure against driving off while plugged in?

But then, there’s this photo right here unless I’ve been suckered into believing AI edits again.

They're doing it wrong. They need a small wind turbine on the back. As they drive, the turbine spins, producing energy which charges the car, which is then used to drive, which further spins the turbines! There is no flaw to this logic! /s

A couple manufacturers were showing off EREV at the big manufacturer auto show, basically EV with a small gas engine to extend the range. Less motor than a hybrid, but enough to get some pretty ridiculous range out of a single combined charge/tank. Basically what this image is implying.

Seems like a decent idea for people that use their vehicle for longer distances.

Fucking slop alright

Now I want to see a fuel line running to the generator from a 2nd tanker trailer.

Except every EV I’ve been in will refuse to shift out of park if the charging cable is plugged in. Otherwise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtS4h2az9Jo&t=48

Its basically a hybrid now

Basically a train engine

Top Gear did this years ago when they solved EVs...

Not buying it: How would you charge (generator) and discharge (motor) the car at the same time? The electronics and software is designed to only charge the battery when parked. My car won't even shift into gear if it's plugged in.

Hate to be that guy, but... Refaccionaria. AI sloppity slop 😔

Germany during WWII did something kind of like this. They modified some of their cars to run on wood gas and they would tow a wood stove on a trailer that generated the gas, with an attached hose that would feed it into the engine. A sensible plan when your only source of oil is Romania and all of your horses have been requisitioned by the army for its "blitzkrieg".

Refraccionera = repair shop, mexican dialect

Sign with E in red cancel mark is No Estiocionar = No parking

Oxxo = Convience store common in Latin america

Street sign says Avenida Sur = South Avenue

It's probably not AI, güey. No mames

That generator does not look like it's secured properly.

As funny as this is... Dodge released a fully electric truck that contains a V6 generator. Goes 690 miles one trip and can pull 14,000lbs.

I've seen a few pictures like this before. The fun fact part is, this is could actually be pretty damn efficient if done well. Gas powered generators are designed to run efficiently and deliver power at a specific RPM. An gas car's engine has to run and deliver power at a wide range of RPMs, so is generally not running at it's most efficent speed.

"I bought this Tesla, but there's no place to charge it, do you want it?"

"Sure."

That’s actually a pretty creative solution if you’re far from a charging station.

A plug-in hybrid.

Edit: removed the opinionated and likely wrong part.
