What is the point of that comment? Unless you have a palm size nuclear reactor, I don't think there are any other economic way of increasing the battery capacity or generate more power.
I did also think of converting the entire roof top of the car into full solar panel, but that means we will need to cut the car open, and fab cost will be expensive. Plus it is unlikely that solar panel will generate nearly as much as a gasoline generator could.
As for the other poster, regarding to the fume issue, I don't think it will be a problem at all. I have been modifying my integra for a ling time, and I know most cars it usually have a vent at the back of the trunk area to allow interior pressure escapes, so I think we could easily route the fume out from there.
As for the idea of using steam, I have no idea what you guys are talking about lol, sound a bit messy?
