Ok folks. So my first summer in my EV is coming. As far as a range extender is concerned I've been looking at some wrecked Honda CBR 300's. I'm thinking of possibly either using the engine as generator (if I can get make a 400V generator) or as a pusher. If I did a generator I'd get a large 12kW BLDC motor and rewire it with thinner wire but in more turns. I'm actually wondering if I could make this small enough to fit in the car itself and skip the trailer idea. Anyhow, this is just another one of my ideas.
