Having to stop to charge mostly defeats the purpose of having the generator in the first place. If I stop for any extended length of time, I'm plugging in. A generator capable of charging at max rates would be heavy.
I envision carrying a generator no more than 350lbs on something like this:
Eliminating the trailer makes the car a little easier to handle, and cuts down on the rolling resistance of having more tires. Plus having it immediately behind the vehicle mostly eliminates the aero drag.
