After reading the posts about the Chevy Volt in another thread about the line shutdown, it's obvious that there are solutions to the issues about the car.

To the folks that are more electric car literate than I am: for something that runs primarily in the city, sometimes highway situation.

How powerful would a onboard charging system have to be in order to keep a 48-96V battery pack up if you only used it for charging and not assisting in powering the car?

Would it be better to have some type of adjustable control that would allow the driver to decide the frequency of generator cut in/cut out?

Nothing exciting, just thought about if a person had somewhere to go and nowhere to plug in, small but powerful charger kicks in and out like a refrigerator unit automatically. Maybe it has been done.
