Hmmm... ill explain

using it as a "range extender" is rather silly

but its mostly for contigency, or a "what if"

such as "what if" im 20 miles from my house but my battery only has 10 miles left
will this allow me to limp home?
or will i have to wait X hours at starbucks while the generator charges my car


of course, the ev will run purely on well, E
being plugged in whenever possible
