tjdub, ya lost me there... How would it be more efficient to charge the battery AND provide power for locomotion? You "lose" energy when converting from one source to another. That power outlet in your house is whole he!! of a lot more efficient than any internal combustion engine that I know of. You can"t spin the generator for free, just cuz the tires are turning. Takes power to turn the genny. That"s like thinking you can use an electric motor to turn the generator and run the generator back in to the motor and get "free" energy.
Makes more sense this way, use a small motor to lump home, rather than have some 150 HP motor sucking gas to power the generator and the wheels. I don"t know why they wouldn"t put regenerative braking in there, unless they couldn"t hit their cost targets with that there. 40 miles would work for many. Not all, but many people.
