The BAU model is DEAD... Either our society will adapt to
smaller/lighter EV's or it will do without fully enclosed personal
transportation.

Peak Oil is upon us(NOW) and it's not going to get any better in the
future with depletion outstripping new discoveries/production.

As for extended range, once enough EV's are on the road I expect our
society will produce a small low drag trailer with extra cargo space
and a small gas/diesel generator & fuel tank. I would not be
surprised if we end up renting them out like U-haul trailers..

I expect most long distance big rig trips will be outlawed/severly
restricted and/or become too expensive. Instead most container/cargo
trips will be replaced by electrified rail transportation with big
rigs used only for local deliveries.

Sorry, but that's the way it's going to be, The future will NOT be
BAU. Human society has reached a nexus point either we adapt and get
off fossil fuels or we die off relatively quickly.

The real savings occur when we stop producing massive amounts of
material to support the fossil fuel industry. Solar panels, Wind
turbines, etc.. are nearly 100% recyclable with very little material
lost during their operational lifetimes.. .

electricity is no done only by
nuclear energy !!
and they explained to you that this car
is using sun energy as well !!!

What a strange idea... a flock of sheep adapting itself to get off grass
or become lamb chops relatively quickly. Don't you know it's the
lone wolf that adapts itself to get off fresh meat and eat carrion to
survive? Human society is a swarm of locusts, it can't adapt while
brown locusts hate green locusts and both swarms are eating the
same meadow.

This is a cracking idea.

This is such a good idea that if it'd have been my idea I would have kept
my mouth shut about it and touted it around the larger EV companies. Diesel
gennies can be pretty efficient run at a constant speed, but bloody annoying
to have to listen to. Having it in a trailer (perhaps with an automatic
start function) is definitely the right place to have it, and the ability to
hire it as and when needed would make good sense to the majority of people
who would only need the extra range a few times a year.

80%+ of the power generated by a typical power station never reaches
the consumer. It goes towards heating the overhead cables.
Power companies don't want you or their politicians to know that.

That is be cause of big power wanting to build big plants
remotely and install cables everywhere which is more money
and work for them.

That is why power should be generated more close to where
its needed. Like for example solar panels on roof tops and
wind generators in your garden.

There should be legislation to give you more
money for locally generated power from solar panels
and windmills feeding back into the grid because it has
shorter distance to travel, heats up less cables and thus
delivers more of the sent power to somewhere needed than
inefficient 80% loss that consumers have to pay
to electricity companies so that those companies may live.
Its the *ONLY* way they can show a profit at your expense.
