There's probably cheaper ways to achieve the same result, though.
lol i wish i found that pic on the web ...lol...i used paint to make...lol...just to make sure to show what i was taking about...lol...but anyway....i not talking about radio or stuff like that...just basic...battery recharge like a regular car does....not extra ...just basic...i'm not a expert mechanic or nothing...but...can u do the same with alternators vs your expensive 1.0L hybrid's 10KW onboard generator...im still learning about the the regen braking....but a regular car seems to always keep the battery charged....thats what im looking at...maybe im in the the wrong direction
