I've seriously considered adding a generator. I have a brushless DC Propane generator out of an RV. It's 3kilowatt and DOT approved.

My Electro-Metro goes a little faster than the Forkenswift, and I don't have another, dedicated, gasoline Metro/Swift/Firefly, the way Darin does.


If you are interested, start a new thread in the fossil-fuel-free forum (or maybe the Hybrid forum?) on adding a generator to an EV.
