For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

This is basically what every EREV is. The generator is just integrated into the car, otherwise it's essentially the same thing.
At the same time, I've wondered if it would be helpful for EVs on some long-distance road trips to tow/stow a generator for overnight and emergency charging. Charging stations are popping up more and more, but if you're saddled with an obsolete or under-served charging port type (e.g. Nissan Leaf), having a generator would be valuable insurance.
damn, nissan leaf is under served? I guess that product placement in sim city whichever fucking year glass box was didn't pay off
The new ones have the standard fast charging ports, but before the 2026 model year they're stuck on an old DC fast charging standard that's only available at a fraction of all charging stations.
