With one of these you'd be able to turn your limited range all-electric into an unlimited range diesel-electric series hybrid. A locomotive, sort of... But with the advantage that the oily bits can be taken out at will to return to the all-electric configuration.

I've only toyed with the idea of adding a generator. No plans to do it. The issue with this specific case is the car would still be a low/medium speed vehicle. Not an awful lot of need for an "unlimited" range vehicle with a 65 km/h top speed!
But others have done just what you're describing with more powerful EV's. See:
