I had started a range extender/trailer build for my electric porsche 924 project and planned to make the trailer from a porsche 924 wreck for drag reduction as the back end is nice aero shaped and have a large sheet of lycra and planned on lacing it from the rear hatch window on the EV to the front of the trailer, it would be stretchy enough to allow the change of angle for cornering and be something like an articulated (bendy) bus with the concertina in the middle effect and look kind of limousine 924. I have a small generator I am building from a twin 50cc plane motor (4.6kW @ 4500rpm) and a PMDC wind turbine generator (11.2A @ 4000rpm and 130V) with peltier units on the exhaust for DC charging (using the engine as a source of heat mainly.) I wanted to sleep in the trailer while the car is charging on mains say at a caravan park in the middle of a long trip.
