I know someone else who built a Miata EV with a biodiesel genset in the trunk. He can drive it as an EV locally, and with the generator on, he can also maintain up to 80 km/h (50 mph) on level ground indefinitely in charge sustaining mode (as long as the genset doesn't run out of fuel!).
Cost him around $30k all in, I think.
I'm hoping to go visit him this summer and do a write up & video presentation of the car to post on EM.
