Seems like if 3 seconds is safe for humans, 2 seconds should be sufficient for a machine.

This question reminds me of discussions on the Chevy Bolt (EV) forum of how to add a gas generator to extend range. I tell them you buy a plug-in hybrid which comes with a purpose-built range extending generator.
