Another idea would be to go "all EV" but add a small ICE as a range extender.

The problem is finding a small water cooled engine that provides enough power. Of course if you drive down the Autobahn you'll need more power to keep your speed up. Maybe a modified outboard motor off a boat.

Another problem is small ICE to generator to motor efficiency will likely get you worse gas mileage.
