Since the ICE won't actually drive the wheels, it makes me wonder if it's not overkill to use a 3-pot. Well, since it's supposed to require a quicker recharging of the batteries, I might be wrong and it fare better than a portable genset for home usage. But anyway, instead of looking at it as an attempt for a smoothier transition to full-EV, it might be interesting to consider the suitability of this concept to alternate fuels such as ethanol as a step toward a substitution of petroleum-based fuels for renewable ones.
