One EV,
Vehicle mounted Gen Set,
(so no extra registration, and
no extra vehicle insurance.)
And, the micro turbine in the video is a 15 KW unit.

I finally get it. Thought the turbine was in the floor, and was wondering why they parked a car over it. It's a mirror showing the turbine installed in the car.
Turbines are very inefficient with respect to fuel economy, but have high power to weight.
I'd imagine a generator could return 35 MPG, but the real trick is figuring out how to drive the car and accept a charge at the same time.
