There are several threads re: onboard generators... you've been here a while, haven't you seen any of them? As I see it, the bottom line is onboard generating to charge the battery pack is the least fuel efficient way possible to charge that pack AND the least fuel efficient way to get the vehicle down the road. I'm told vehicle-generated electricity is about 5x the cost of household outlet electricity! So if one is to burden their EV with the weight, cost, and complexity of an ICE I strongly think that ICE should power the wheels directly to make the whole mess go down the road, bypassing all the onboard generating/charging inefficiencies.
