Sorry to double post, but that would give you a source of heat as well. Volkswagen is in the process of putting one of their concept cars into production as we speak, it's a 2 seater diesel-electric hybrid that gives about 200-300+ mpg! (no, that's not a typo) As long as you're wall charging, you are still running on fossil fuels anyways, so unless you go full solar or other alternative energy, it's simply out of sight, out of mind. The obvious downside is that typical diesel clatter inside an otherwise quiet car, but a sound insulated box would certainly help some. Also, it would surely be possible to run the generator on veggie oil... just trying to think outside the box
