@AvocadoAfficionado If the equipment was standardized and easy to use it would sell well. There are already trailer rentals, a trailer with a range-extending generator is just an extension of this existing market.

@ericlotze7724 Are you thinking of Warped Perception? He added a custom generator to a Tesla but it was a bit underpowered.

@1Esteband ICE vehicles have the exact same problem. It's (mostly) been solved by consumer education about not running engines in closed garages.

@il-conte It wouldn't be a typical portable generator, that would be a bad idea for many reasons. It would be a more purpose-built range extender with a constant DC output of maybe 20-30 kW. Charging time doesn't matter because you drive with it running.

@il-conte The downside with it being integrated is that it's heavy (wastes energy dragging it along when you're not using it) and it's large, taking up cargo space.

@yoice2k 3 phase permanent magnet motor is a type of synchronous motor. There's no slip involved. Sensors and the motor control circuitry adjust the current so there's always the optimal angle between rotor poles and stator magnetic poles.
