I wonder if the same couldn't be done with a very small generator? One of those you see advertised for "tailgate parties". Small as in: small enough to travel with and small as in: not using much gas.
A EV would work for me. I travel very little and make short trips. There are NO re-charging stations nearby that I know of. It would only pay off if the car was free. Meanwhile, I'll continue to top my tank off once a month.
