Why can an electric car not be equipped with an alternator/generator to provide electricity just as a gasoline vehicle? Have pondered this question for a while now and never have heard it even discussed. Just seems that powers to be want to sell us electricity when it is generated by the vehicle….car, lawn mower, etc…. anything that is “running” and has a power source to generate electricity will run for years. A automobile battery last for years and is recharged as vehicle is running….what are we missing here?
