Yea, I did said "ignoring the weight factor" though...
Which is why i also think of the portable generator method, but that won't be as green as the added battery of course.

I'm thinking since the EV already have a battery charging inlet, it should be quite easy to tap the wire and just hook up the portable generator to the existing wire to charge it. Something like this perhaps? Honda EU2000i

I read it else where that the EV require 240v/16amp (some uses higher amp like 40) to charge, i think what's important is the amp?
