I get it, a PHEV that can go “forever” with a gas powered generator, but how far and under what loads? We dog EVs with their range degredation under stress, but has anyone questioned the effectiveness of the 1500s generator to recharge the batteries under heavy, long distance towing? Maybe at Max towing weight?
On a level 2 30A charger I can barely add charge to my Tesla while running the AC blasting in summer time.

It’s not a new idea that’s the same way the chevy volt worked with a 84HP 4 cylinder. The Outlander also works like this with the ICE mainly driving a generator.
A 30A charger takes about 7200 watts, you can get a small generator at harbor fright that will do that with a 420CC 12HP motor. The standard 3.6L will put out 292HP and the battery acts as a buffer so the EV motors can put out more power then the 3.6 can deliver.
