    Next thing you know, we’ll be putting the generator inside the hood and shrinking the battery to make room.

      Something like the Chevy Volt will end up being the future. Except the generator will be removable and replacable to handle different fuels. If not on the fly, then as basic options at purchase.

          Pretty much, it’s the most efficient land transport so far. The only issue is scaling, and also most people don’t need an ICE engine of any sort the majority of the time. Thus, making them optional and replacable is the solution to scaling, and fuel variety.

            It’s pretty versatile and gets around the range anxiety problem. Not as efficient Vs conventional ice for high speed cruising but great for most other applications.

              Most people don’t get to high speed cruise any more. Our highways are too packed. Even when they’re not, there’s always those two guys that have to drive side by side for 30 miles just to get in everyone’s way.
