Go either one or the other.

How about taking a small gen set and integrating it into the electric car as a range extender? Or make your own out of a 50-100cc engine and an alternator/generator to run at the optimal speed as needed to keep the batteries topped off.

Or you could do what I did and get the plans from Mother Earth News and modify them to fit your application.
