ive been wondering why out of all the EV car mods ive seen, why they dont have like an altenator or something hooked up to charge the batteries as you drive. im sure i will get a lot of replies to this. and hopefully no flames. i do know a regular altenator will not produce enough output to charge the batteries. so the internal regulator will need to be modified to produce the correct amount of power to charge the batteries. im guessing to charge a 400v system, you will need say 100 or so more volts to charge it at a decent rate enough to not kill the batteries. i didnt do any math on that, just a out of the blue guess. dont hurt me.
