It think the main problems with Wankel engines go away when you just use them as range extenders.
Emissions: You never need to run them in a city.
Maintenance: A range extender in a 200km electric car might not reach 1000h of operation during the cars lifetime.
Efficiency: Not as important, see above.
That said, could a $200 piston engine last 1000h producing 15hp?
